E2open Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in Analyst Firm's Integration
Service Providers Magic Quadrant

REDWOOD CITY, Calif., June 24 /PRNewswire/ -- E2open, Inc., the leading
provider of multi-enterprise on-demand solutions for value chain, procurement
and B2B integration, today announced that it has been positioned in the
"Leaders Quadrant" in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Integration Service
Providers. Gartner, Inc. is a leading worldwide research and advisory firm.
Its report evaluated 14 vendors in the integration service provider market
based on their ability to execute and completeness of vision.
"E2open continues to lead the market in delivering working business
processes for the extended value chain, including solutions for
multi-enterprise on-demand B2B integration. We believe our leadership
placement by Gartner in its Magic Quadrant validates our position as a high
performance low risk option for B2B integration as recognized by our roster of
global value chain leaders," said Andrew Salzman, chief marketing officer,
E2open. "No doubt that the continued success of E2open customers such as
Celestica, Cisco, IBM, LSI, Vodafone and Seagate definitely help drive the
selection criteria. We are very pleased to have such great customers and
partners in this important market space."
Evaluation criteria that had high weight in the Gartner selection process
according to the report included overall viability (business unit, financial,
strategy, organization), sales execution/pricing and customer experience. In
addition, according to the report, "In the highly evolving IaaS and B2B
project outsourcing market segments, leaders must have a critical mass of
users (community) in selected industries; a comprehensive and compelling
service offering vision; a significant geographic reach (or be likely to
establish one); secure, reliable and efficient hosted integration service
operations; sustained profitability (or likely to establish it); and strong
account management and customer loyalty. They must also be regularly on
organizations' shortlists for new B2B projects and be agents of change to the
evolving market segment."
