According to IDC Energy Insights, the DMS MarketScape study is based on a comprehensive set of qualitative and quantitative criteria, and on factors expected to be most conducive to success in a given market during the short and the long term. Vendors ranked as leaders in the study rank high in both current capabilities (e.g., offering, go-to-market capabilities, business execution, etc.) and in key indicators of a successful longer-term strategy (e.g., product roadmap, future integration strategy, pricing model and growth strategy).

"As our research shows, Ventyx offers one of the most robust and complete DMS offerings on the market today," said Torchia. "Additionally, Ventyx has been at the forefront of integrating IT and operations technology, which allows its customers to extract greater value across these normally segregated systems by enabling better decision-making enterprise-wide and aligning operational areas with overall business goals."
