"Web content management is a critical component of a highly successful digital marketing strategy," said Bill Rogers, Ektron's Founder and CEO.  "We believe the recognition of Ektron as a Leader in Web content management illustrates Ektron's commitment to building innovative solutions for digital marketers who strive to drive results and improve the customer experience."

Gartner bases its evaluation on the "ability to execute" and "completeness of vision." Ability to execute measures how well a company sells and supports its WCM products and services globally. Completeness of vision focuses on the vendor's potential and points to its future likelihood of success.

According to Gartner, companies that are placed in the "Leaders" quadrant should "drive market transformation." Leaders have the highest combined scores for ability to execute and completeness of vision. They are doing well and are prepared for the future with a clear vision and a thorough appreciation of the broader context of Online Channel Optimization. They have strong channel partners, a presence in multiple regions, consistent financial performance, broad platform support and good customer support. In addition, they dominate in one or more technologies or vertical markets. Leaders are aware of the ecosystem in which their offerings need to fit. Leaders can: demonstrate enterprise deployments, offer integration with other business applications and content repositories, and provide a vertical-process or horizontal-solution focus.
