What is the Gartner Magic Quadrant?

In short, the Gartner Magic Quadrant is a graphical way to analyse and represent a particular product/market/industry in terms of their ability to deliver based on their vision.

The Quadrant consists of 4 segments which are measured along and x and y axis, to represent the completeness of vision and ability to execute respectively:

  1. Leaders
    • Effectively deliver on their stated vision, and are in good shape for the future
  2. Visionaries
    • Recognise the future direction of their product/market/industry and potentially have a good vision for changing the existing industry status quo – but are unable to make things happen
  3. Niche Players
    • Successfully focus on a specific product/sector, or lack focus and are unable to outperform and out-innovate other competitors
  4. Challengers
    • Are performing well today or may command great influence in a particular sector, but are unaware or unable to see the future direction of their product/market/industry

    I am working as a consultant in the Business Continuity space and my first task is to do a RFP/Software recommendation for BCP software applications. I’d like to get a report of the BCP software applications that have been vetted by Gartner to submit to my client for consideration in making a software selection. My business email address is att.net. Will this prohibit me from getting results?
