May 29, 2014 - Planview® has received a "Strong Positive" rating – the highest possible – in the Gartner report published May 16 titled "MarketScope for IT Project and Portfolio Management Software Applications.

" The report analyzes project and portfolio management (PPM) vendors who offer on-premise and/or cloud-hosted deployments of their applications, which are designed to help organizations align business strategy with execution while controlling risks and costs. This is the third consecutive year that Planview has been named a "Strong Positive" in this annual Gartner report.

"Whether cloud-based or on-premise, power user or novice user, Planview Enterprise provides customers in IT, product development and services businesses with the flexibility and functionality needed to maximize their limited resources to achieve their business goals," said Patrick Tickle, executive vice president of products for Planview. "The latest release of Planview Enterprise continues to evolve the PPM software industry, with a user experience that helps customers do their core jobs better."

According to the Gartner report: "Providers receiving a Strong Positive rating in this MarketScope demonstrate a strong global market presence, depth and breadth in IT PPM functionality, and integration with complementary IT software systems. They have a strong commitment to cloud hosting and made significant internal changes to accommodate a new business model without disrupting current operations."¹

At its Horizons Customer Conference last week in Berlin, Planview announced a new version of Planview Enterprise, which merges work and resource management to help customers streamline interactions and improve productivity. Planview will be demonstrating Planview Enterprise 11.2 at the Gartner PPM & IT Governance Summits in National Harbor, MD and London.
