Archibus Ranks as a Leader in Gartner Magic Quadrant for Integrated Workplace Management System

Archibus, Inc., developer of solutions for real estate, infrastructure, and facilities management software in the world, is positioned in the Leaders quadrant of the 2013 "Magic Quadrant for Integrated Workplace Management Systems" report by Gartner, Inc., which positions IWMS software companies according to their vision and ability to execute.

According to a release, in its 2013 findings, Gartner recognized Archibus as a Leader for these reasons:

- Archibus has a strong international presence... through its Federated Eco-System of partners and ARCHIBUS Solution Centers (ASCs), Archibus' products and services are available in more than 190 countries and in 30 languages.

- Archibus offers a full range of integrated IWMS functionality and is particularly strong in real estate, facility and building operations management, asset management, Building Information Modeling 4.0 (BIM 4.0), and environmental sustainability and risk management.

- Archibus' integrated commercial off-the-shelf structure allows for rapid time-to-value deployment (for example, actionable results within 30 to 90 days...), and is relatively scalable for small, midsize and large organizations.

"Leaders," says Gartner's definition of the term, "have strength in applications and platform technology, demonstrate a high level of quality in product reliability and service, have strong operational and organizational capabilities and financial stability, have global reach and offer a strong vision of customer needs, reflected in a robust development road map."

"Being cited as a Leader for the 6th time in a row, in the 2013 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IWMS, is both an honor and recognition of the continuing evolution of Archibus and the loyalty of over 7 million members in the Archibus Federated Eco-System - now over 30 years old with a customer retention of over 96.4 percent," said Archibus Founder and President/CEO Bruce K. Forbes.

Further, some new features in the current Archibus release include:

- Streamlined user interfaces with Quick Start Role-based Homepages

- Enhanced Archibus Web Central applications and extensions which include Capital Budgeting, the Archibus Reservations Extension for Microsoft Exchange, and new Archibus Mobile Framework Apps

- More powerful Archibus Performance Metrics Framework for portfolio and operations analysis

Archibus' interoperability with other CRM, CMMS, EAM, BAS, IWMS, TIFM systems and/or ERP offerings (from vendors such as SAP, Oracle, Sage and Microsoft) via its Connectors -- for consolidating data integration with HR, space, occupancy and financial information -- delivers a Web services platform. An aggressive technology roadmap is designed to deliver a short Time-to-Value, high ROI (Return on Investment) solution.

Archibus Enterprise Information Modeling (EIM), BIM 4.0, and integration with other enterprise systems, including architectural and geographic information systems (GIS), allow Archibus users to transform their organizations and achieve their goals more efficiently and effectively.

There are several ways for users to deploy Archibus:

- Archibus On-Premises -- when a software license is installed and run on computers on the premises of the organization using the software.

- Archibus Hosted Services Offerings -- when a user license is installed in and used from a remote server farm.

- Archibus SaaS offering or Archibus In The Cloud -- when users can sign up for the software as a service or have the software available to them in the Cloud.
