"We believe our Magic Quadrant position reflects a maturing market
that understands how Strategic IT Planning unlocks the power of
Enterprise Architecture and enables IT to keep pace with business
change while reducing operational risk," said David Hood, CEO of Troux
Technologies. "Troux's demonstration of thought-leadership in
Strategic IT Planning, Enterprise IT Standards and Optimization
continues to drive record-breaking sales worldwide."

To be included in this Magic Quadrant, "a vendor must have a
product (or integrated set of products) that meet the minimum
requirements for an EA tool described previously(2). All vendors were
required to demonstrate that they are being used in production to
support EA work in at least 50 organizations, and user references were
checked. Additionally, when the list of vendors was finalized on 29
November 2007, the vendor must have derived at least $2 million in
license and maintenance revenue during the previous reporting year
from products that are used for enterprise architecture or have
exhibited an innovative approach to addressing the market's needs."

According to the report, "As organizations grapple with the need
to understand and relate multiple aspects of their enterprise
architecture (EA), the EA tool market continues to attract
considerable interest and benefit from enhanced functionality."
