Independent Analyst Firm Evaluates Savvion Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Savvion([R]), the industry's leading business process management (BPM) company, today announced that it has been positioned in the Leaders quadrant in Gartner Inc.'s Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites, 2007, co-authored by Janelle B. Hill, Michele Cantara, Eric Deitert, and Marc Kerremans, and published on December 14, 2007.

According to the report, "Leaders are distinguished by their relentless focus on driving a paradigm shift toward increased business user participation in the entire process improvement life cycle by enabling explicit, model-driven solution deployment rather than traditional coded approaches."
