Innotas Named a Leader in Cloud-Based PPM Services by Leading Analyst Firm

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Jul 9, 2012) - Innotas today announced it was named by Gartner, Inc. as a Leader in its "Magic Quadrant for Cloud-Based Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) Services*," in its recently-released research report covering PPM Software-as-a-Service applications. Innotas is a leading provider of Cloud solutions for IT Management.

In Gartner's first Magic Quadrant for Cloud-based PPM services, it evaluated 13 vendors and recognized Innotas in its "Leaders" quadrant. Innotas provides PPM application services, driven by supporting project and work management in internal IT departments. 

According to Gartner, vendors recognized as "leaders" in this Magic Quadrant "meet many PPM application functionality and process automation requirements of targeted consumers. Leading providers support the generation and management of project portfolios, and can track other types of demand, such as those specific to IT (for example, minor software change requests, application enhancements, and bug and error fixes), so managers can assess the cumulative impact that all types of work will have on a fixed resource supply. Product depth in several core PPM areas -- such as management -- set 'Leaders' apart from competitors. Some of the providers can support portfolio analysis (for investment prioritization). Some Leaders are increasingly offering a measure of program (versus project) management support in their products.

Cloud-based PPM service 'Leaders' provide depth and breadth of PPM functionality in their application services, representing many years of development and innovation. These providers have a large installed base of customers, can provide functionality and process automation for customers in 30 days or less, and can give customers the ability to incrementally invest in their services through 12-month contracts. Cloud-based PPM service Leaders can provide overwhelming evidence that they are actively selling and marketing their solutions. Some Leaders are enhancing their core, direct PPM service offerings to include process consulting."

According to Kevin Kern, CEO of Innotas, "We believe that Gartner's recognition of Innotas, placing us in the 'Leaders' Magic Quadrant, is further affirmation of our leadership in Cloud-based Project Portfolio Management services. We continue to focus on providing the best Cloud-based solutions for IT management in the industry, helping our customers to manage and measure the work that their IT staff generates for their business."

In addition to the Gartner Cloud-based PPM "Leaders" recognition in 2012, Innotas recently received the CODiE award for "Best Project Management Solution," the Red Herring Top 100 Americas Award, the San Francisco Business Journal's "Best Places to Work" award and was named to the JMP Securities Hot 100 List of Best Privately Held Software Companies.
