TORONTO, Canada, December 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarity Systems, a leader in corporate performance management (CPM) and external reporting solutions, today announced that Gartner, Inc. had positioned the firm in the 'Visionaries' section of the 2008 Magic Quadrant (TM) for CPM Suites(1).
I believe our positioning in the Magic Quadrant reflects our 40 percent year-on-year growth in license revenue, the new product introductions we made and the widening acceptance of Clarity FSR(TM) by firms wanting to improve the efficiency of the external reporting process, while delivering multiple output formats including XBRL, said Mark Nashman , President and CTO, Clarity Systems. This unified, one-stop CPM and external reporting product portfolio contrasts with those of other vendors mentioned in the report, who are still trying to rationalize the products they obtained during acquisitions, added Nashman.
Clarity Systems is a leading independent CPM specialist, providing enterprises with a unified and open approach to CPM with its solutions, Clarity 6 and Clarity FSR. Clarity 6 is a single unified application to address financial budgeting, planning, forecasting, consolidations, scorecarding and analytic needs. Clarity FSR is an innovation for the Office of Finance that makes it easier to create and submit external financial and regulatory reports such as the 10-K and 10-Q. Clarity FSR is the only product of its kind on the market, and is helping to strengthen Clarity's leadership in the CPM market.
In 2009 we will introduce more visionary, feature-rich versions of Clarity 6, Clarity FSR and Clarity OnDemand, as well as add new business partners across the globe, said Nashman. These moves in turn will reinforce our industry leadership as one of the leading independent CPM specialists providing enterprises all over the world with a truly unified and open approach to CPM, he added.
Clarity Systems will be providing 'big picture' industry insights and a host of practical tools to its customers and prospects at its customer conference, Vision:09, in the new year. Companies interested in hearing real-life user experiences, industry overviews and attending educational workshops around our visionary solutions are encouraged to visit http://www.claritysystems.com/Vision/ to gather details and plan their attendance.
