Gartner positions XEED in the 2008 Magic Quadrant for Marketing Resource Management for the third consecutive year.

Xeed, a leading provider of Marketing IT software and services, today announced its positioning in the Magic Quadrant for Marketing Resource Management, according to a Gartner, Inc. report entitled Magic Quadrant for Marketing Resource Management, 1Q07

According to Gartner Xeed with its robust solution set offers an attractive alternative to large on-premise business application vendors with traditional software license models such as Oracle and SAP, for companies who do not want to make a capital IT investment. "European companies looking for a broad set of MRM requirements should consider Xeed as an alternative provider."

Xeed's software solutions and services enables enterprises to optimize marketing processes, provide insight in marketing efficiency, guard brand identity and increase conversion rates. With a recently upgraded architecture it is possible to release configurable deployments in a matter of weeks.

"We are very pleased to be positioned again in the Gartner Magic Quadrant," said Mr. Harold Punter, Operations Director of XEED. "It is an acknowledgement of the quality of our software, our people and the tangible business results that we have delivered for our clients. Our position in the Gartner MQ is a reinforcement of our strategic vision to develop and deliver innovative marketing IT solutions."
