[SAP news release]

This is a significant achievement that underscores SAP SuccessFactors’ commitment to providing a comprehensive and innovative HCM suite for large organizations. But what exactly does this mean for you?

What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?

The Gartner Magic Quadrant is a research tool that evaluates vendors in a particular market based on two critical criteria:

• Ability to Execute: This assesses a vendor’s product offerings, market share, marketing execution, customer experience, and overall viability.
• Completeness of Vision: This evaluates a vendor’s vision for the market’s future, its product roadmap, innovation, and understanding of customer needs.

By placing vendors in a quadrant based on these criteria, Gartner helps businesses make informed decisions about which solutions best suit them.

Why Does Being a Leader Matter?

Being positioned as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant indicates that SAP SuccessFactors is a strong choice for large organizations seeking a cloud-based HCM suite. Here are some reasons why this recognition might be important:

• Proven track record: Eight consecutive years in the Leader quadrant demonstrates SAP SuccessFactors’ consistent ability to deliver a strong product and service.
• Market leader: This recognition positions SAP SuccessFactors as a leading force in the HCM market, with a deep understanding of the customer needs and a commitment to innovation.
• Reduced risk: Choosing a leader in the magic quadrant can help mitigate risks associated with implementing a new HCM system.
