ATLANTA, July 9 /PRNewswire/ --

Stonebranch(R), Inc., the innovation leader in Enterprise Systems Management, today announced that Gartner, Inc. has positioned Stonebranch in the June 2008 Visionaries Quadrant of its "Magic Quadrant for Managed File Transfer" report (L. Frank Kenney, James Lennard).

According to the report, "Numerous factors cause companies to re-examine how they manage the movement of information from system to system, partner to partner, person to person. FTP alone is not a viable option to give you the insight, security and performance and, ultimately, the risk mitigation necessary to responsibly conduct business."

Wolfgang Bothe, CEO of Stonebranch, said, "We are honored to be positioned in the visionaries quadrant of Gartner's prestigious report. We believe Stonebranch's placement in this quadrant validates why customers across the world have our solution moving mission-critical data between thousands of their servers. Stonebranch is the only managed file transfer solution that provides end-to-end visibility and audit capabilities of all data movement across the entire enterprise from a single point."

Gartner estimates that the market for managed file transfer suites and services is approximately US$450 million and is growing at a rate of 21 percent to 26 percent year-over-year.
