iWay Software Positioned in Challengers Quadrant in Analyst Report on B2B Gateway Software

NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - June 10, 2008) - iWay Software, a division of Information Builders and an innovator of enterprise integration solutions, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has named iWay to the Challengers Quadrant in the recently issued "Magic Quadrant for B2B Gateway Software Providers," issued June 3, 2008.

According to the Gartner report, "B2B gateway software is a form of integration middleware that's used to consolidate and centralize a company's multienterprise data, application and process integration, and interoperability requirements with external business partners." In Gartner's view, B2B gateway software "gives companies economies of scale, a deeper insight into the technical aspects of data, integration, transaction delivery, and process integration." It also "provides a central, reusable repository for external business partner profiles and processes," as well as "support for various data formats, mappings, transports and communication protocols, and security standards." 'Challengers' are defined as, "vendors that have focused significant resources on the market, but they have a narrower understanding of it, as well as a less impressive product strategy, or they've deliberately chosen to limit the scope of their product lines or commitment to the market."

"Over the past three years, iWay has made great inroads into the B2B market," said John Senor, president of iWay Software. "Our value-priced integration technology allows B2B-enabled systems to be incrementally upgraded as IT projects evolve. With a strong global support network from our relationship with Information Builders, we are able to work with customers no matter where they are in the world. We think Gartner's placement of iWay in the Challengers Quadrant in the B2B Gateway Software Vendors Quadrant shows we have a bright future for continued growth in the B2B market."
