Business Wire, April 2, 2007

LINCOLN, Mass. -- Palladium Group, Inc., a leading professional services firm enabling clients to execute strategy, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the "Visionaries" Quadrant for Business Intelligence Services, North America, 2007, authored by Alex Soejarto and Bill Hostmann, issued on March 13, 2007.

The report evaluates firms based on their ability to execute and their completeness of vision. According to the report, "Completeness of Vision is a dimension that evaluates the service provider's strategic vision to deliver the services needed by clients in the four domains of the BI/PM framework." These domains include: depth of knowledge of BI markets, knowledge of the direction of key market trends, and knowledge of the customers the service provider serves. The report continues and states that "the service provider's scope of vision and the 'mind share' it has achieved with potential buyers are important. Factors analyzed include the service provider's commitment to its BI practices, funding and allocation of resources and skill building, and how it positions itself to address future industry scenarios through investments in R&D, methodologies, alliances and partnerships."

"Our continued investment in thought leadership, skill building, and methodologies has helped Palladium deliver the services needed by our clients to link strategy to operations," said George McMillan, chief executive officer of Palladium. "We believe our positioning in this highly regarded industry report is a testament to our capabilities in this area, as well as proof that we are the industry's performance management specialist."
