Bright Consulting partner in the area of Enterprise Architecture and Requirements Management Sparx Systems was recognized by Gartner in its Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools.

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect (EA) builds a shared environment that ensures all people involved in software planning and development work on the same collaborative repository. Organizations rate EA’s flexibility, versatility, and affordability highly, as they are working to mature their business model and to justify money spent on IT.

Sparx COO Tom O’Reilly said inclusion in Gartner for the fifth time reflects their commitment to provide full lifecycle modelling support for a variety of roles involved in design, modelling, analysis and decision making.

“We have made our mark on the marketplace by maximizing both the roles we serve and the practical support we provide to each of those roles,” he said.

“We’ve deliberately created a tool that pulls everyone into a shared, collaborative environment for planning and development: CEOs, CIOs, COOs, enterprise architects, business analysts, project managers, coders, testers, software developers, software architects, software engineers, project managers, support personnel, database administrators, deployment and rollout teams and technology developers
