ZWOLLE, the Netherlands, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Capital ID, specialist in marketing operations management, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the 1Q08 Marketing Resource Management Magic Quadrant report(1).

The report says: "Although still immature compared with other, more-established CRM markets -- for example, contact centers, sales force automation (SFA) and campaign management -- MRM is gaining substantial interest among midsize and large companies. During 2007, most vendors continued to grow MRM revenue, win new customers and cross-sell into their installed bases. Vendors increased their investments for product development, marketing and sales distribution."

Luke McKeever, CEO at Capital ID: "We are delighted with our placement in the MRM Magic Quadrant. We see it as recognition of the quality of our software and our people, our vision for the future of our business, and - above all - the great results our technology is driving for our customers. The placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant, in my opinion, gives us a strong platform for our international expansion plans as Gartner is recognized worldwide as a leader in independent technology research."
