Positioning based on completeness of vision and ability to execute

MINNEAPOLIS – DECEMBER 10, 2015 – Calabrio, a leading provider of customer engagement and analytics technology, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has for the first time, positioned the company as a Leader in the December 2015 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Customer Engagement Center Workforce Optimization.

“Our customers have been our oracle of innovation and the greatest source of motivation in getting us where we are today,” said Calabrio CEO Tom Goodmanson. “We’re proud of the progress we’ve made over the past eight years and now being named a Leader in this Gartner’s Magic Quadrant we feel shows how dedicated our employees have been to meeting the needs of our customers. And this is only the beginning, we’re continuing to innovate and evolve our technology to accelerate our customers’ growth —it’s the core of our own growth strategy.”

“As the market matures, we are placing greater emphasis on solution integration/unification and the number of WFO customers (including reference customers) using the entire suite,” wrote report authors and Gartner Research Directors Jim Davies and Sorell Slaymaker. “Embedded analytics has grown in importance, as has the pursuit of a clear strategy for providing mobile functionality to agents, supervisors and managers. The ability to support both on-premises and WFO-as-a-service deployments is also key.”

This year marks the eighth year Calabrio has been included in the Magic Quadrant and the first year they are named in the “Leaders” quadrant. We believe the company’s recent success is in part due to its support for more contact center platforms. Its comprehensive suite, Calabrio ONE®, continues to expand and mature, and the company has continually won large deals—the largest of which has 30,000 seats.

Released annually, this influential market study evaluates vendors based on their completeness of vision and ability to execute. According to Gartner, “Leaders” in the WFO market “provide functionally broad and deep WFO solutions that can be deployed and supported globally. Their software is suitable for enterprises of all sizes and complexities, and they have broad industry coverage. Their revenue is strong and new references are readily available.” Gartner’s Customer Engagement Center Workforce Optimization Magic Quadrant analyzes the evolution of customer experience management strategy and technology, and looks at how businesses can best evaluate and select solutions.
