Liliendahl on Data Quality

Both Forrester and Gartner have recently published reports with rankings of the vendors on the Master Data Management (MDM) and Product Information Management (PIM) market.

Below is an overview of who is in (and who is out) in these reports:

Forrester’s Master Data Management report (the Wave) came out this week as reported in the post Toward the Third Generation of MDM. This report focusses on MDM capabilities. The included vendors follow in some extent the same vendors recognized by Gartner with Profisee as a surprising omission. Instead Forrester has included Pitney Bowes, Backoffice Associates and Magnitude Software (the solution formerly known as Kalido).

Last June Forrester published their Product Information Management Wave as told in the post There is no PIM quadrant, but there is a PIM wave. This report included some PIM vendors not included by Gartner. These were Agility Multichannel (part of Magnitude Software), inRiver and Salsify.

The Gartner report (the Magic Quadrant) came out in December as mentioned in the post Movements in the Gartner MDM Magic Quadrant 2018. Gartner began some years ago only publishing a multidomain MDM view instead of their previous separate customer MDM and product MDM quadrants. Gartner has, opposite to Forrester, included Ataccama and Via Medici.
