Gartner Positions Youredi as a "Visionary" in Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service, Worldwide

WOBURN, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 30, 2015) - Youredi, the leading provider of data integration solutions for global e-commerce, announced today that Gartner, Inc. has positioned the company in the "Visionaries" quadrant of the 2015 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service, Worldwideⁱ report. The report evaluated 16 software vendors that met inclusion criteria, including the ability to execute and completeness of vision.

"We're honored to be named in the Visionaries quadrant by Gartner and we're committed to providing critical and innovative e-commerce solutions to the marketplace," said Jaakko Elovaara, CEO of Youredi, Ltd. "The pace of global e-commerce today depends on the fast and accurate flow of information -- getting the right data into the right hands at the right time -- yet many companies are struggling to connect cloud and on-premise applications, systems and data across their supply chains. Our solution leverages best practices in the cloud to solve these critical challenges at significantly lower costs than traditional methods, while providing the highest levels of transparency, speed, scalability and service."

Youredi allows companies to streamline the flow of information throughout global e-commerce networks, including parcel logistics, supply chain, financial services and other value networks. The company provides an advanced Integration Platform as a Service (iPaaS) solution that integrates data across applications, processes and systems seamlessly, quickly and cost-effectively -- on premise, in the cloud and between trading partners. It supports industry standards and connectivity with other platforms, and integrates seamlessly with internal/external systems, enabling information to be easily shared. Because of Youredi's business model, companies can conduct transactions for as little as a few cents per transaction. The platform, which is built on Microsoft Azure, can process data in any format and size, and supports all relevant communication protocols. Youredi was named by Gartner as a "Cool Vendor in Integrationⁱⁱ" in 2014.

"While a number of integration solutions have been on the market for some time, Youredi is bringing a fresh new approach -- delivering the first robust and easily scalable solution that combines all of the features that customers need to truly drive greater efficiencies and cost savings in e-commerce," said Sami Tähtinen, Youredi CTO.

According to the Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Integration Platform as a Service, Worldwide, report, "initially focused on point-to-point integration across cloud and on-premises applications, enterprise iPaaS offerings can now effectively target more complex uses. This Magic Quadrant helps directors of integration assess providers' ability to deliver offerings that meet current and evolving needs."
