COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., Aug. 21, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cherwell Software, LLC, (“Cherwell”) a global leader in service management, has been named a Challenger in the 2018 Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Management Tools.
This is the fourth-consecutive year that Cherwell Software has improved its positioning in the report.
Cherwell believes this recognition comes as it continues to capture market share in the core IT Service Management category. With a growing roster of global customers and an industry-leading 96-percent renewal rate, Cherwell secured nearly a quarter-billion dollars in recent investments including $172 million from KKR in April 2018.
“To us, placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant for IT Service Management Tools reflects our commitment to delivering solutions that enable businesses to run more efficiently and seamlessly as they pursue digital transformation,” said Sam Gilliland, Chief Executive Officer, Cherwell. “I believe that Gartner’s assessment of Cherwell’s strengths aligns with the value we add to our customers and the returns they achieve on their investment.”
Cherwell has grown faster than the average market rate, adding customers in the public sector, healthcare and manufacturing industries. Additionally, Cherwell added more than 75 third-party integrations through its Technical Alliance Partnership program and continues to integrate additional extensions and feature sets through the mApp Exchange.
Cherwell’s core ITSM offering, Cherwell Service Management, is a powerful and flexible, codeless platform that enables IT teams to implement, automate, and modernize service and support processes to meet new and evolving needs — at a fraction of the cost and complexity associated with legacy ITSM tools.
In addition to the business functionality benefits, Cherwell customers report saving between 20 and 60 percent over their previous legacy ITSM tools. Cherwell enables its customers the flexibility to choose from subscription or perpetual pricing, on-premise or SaaS, Cherwell-hosted or public cloud infrastructure—and the ability to switch anytime.
