17/04/2008

Gartner, Inc. has named Safe Software in its "Cool Vendors in Data Management and Integration, 2008" report. The report was published on 28 March 2008 and written by Ted Friedman, Andreas Bitterer and Donald Feinberg. According to the report, "Contemporary data integration tools generally lack functionality to deal with geographic and spatial data at a detailed level, and this represents a challenge for organisations working with these complex data types."

Don Murray, President of Safe Software says that for over a decade, Safe Software has focused on addressing the challenges organisations face when looking to integrate their diverse spatial data assets and is honored to be evaluated as a 'Cool Vendor' by such a highly respected analyst firm.
