Xterprise has been ranked at the top of the latest Vendor Matrix released by ABI Research.
OATSystems and InSync Software claimed the second and third spots in the company’s new evaluation of worldwide line of business (LOB) application software solutions vendors.
“Line of Business applications are ultimately where business transformation and value are created,” says RFID practice director Michael Liard. “LOB application software vendors can be described as those offering application software packages that enable turnkey solutions for verticals.”
“Although facing increasing competition from its peers, Xterprise leads with its emphasis on developing a broad, deep portfolio of robust asset and item management-related LOB application solutions that target multiple verticals,” says Liard. “The diversity of the company’s offerings, markets, and customers helped drive strong scores across criteria.”
The Vendor Matrix is an analytical tool developed by ABI Research to provide a clear understanding of vendors’ positions in specific markets. Vendors are assessed on the important parameters of “innovation” and “implementation” across several criteria unique to each vendor matrix.
Under "innovation," ABI Research examined the scope of innovation of the vendors’ RFID LOB solution offerings, their degree of partner and solution enablement, and the solutions’ enterprise deployment-friendliness and flexibility. Also evaluated: the vendors’ application and vertical market leadership, alignment, and innovation; their overall RFID strategies, vision and approaches; their degree of industry leadership, influence and knowledge transfer; and their new application enablement.
Under "implementation," ABI Research scrutinized the following criteria: the breadth and strength of vertical and application markets served/targeted; the vendors’ software integration and support capabilities; their customer deployments and international market penetration; the degree of partner collaboration and the extent of the partner ecosystem, and the vendors’ overall perceived market leadership, strength, and experience.
