1 IGG S. Hayward, M. Gilbert, G. Phifer, F. Caldwell Article 19 March 2003 Management Update: Gartner's Smart Enterprise Suite Magic Quadrant for 2003 Gartner has developed its first Smart Enterprise Suite Magic Quadrant. Enterprises that are evaluating portal, content management and collaboration functionality should use the Magic Quadrant and also consider how the markets are evolving. Gartner has developed its first Smart Enterprise Suite Magic Quadrant. Enterprises that are evaluating portal, content management and collaboration functionality should use the Magic Quadrant and also consider how the markets are evolving. The Smart Enterprise Suite Category Emerges Gartner identified in May 2002 the emergence of a new category that it calls the smart enterprise suite (SES). A combination of portal, collaborative and content management functionality, the SES is becoming a highly significant evolutionary trend as the related markets mature and merge. Market events have clearly confirmed that move. Notable acquisitions driven by the need to aggregate larger suites of functionality include: Documentum bought eroom Vignette acquired Epicentric Open Text bought Corechange Portal vendors continue to expand the scope of their products well beyond the gateway for example, Plumtree Software s Enterprise Web, Computer Associates International s Cleverpath and IBM s WebSphere Portal. SES Definition Gartner defines the required and optional features of an SES as the following: Content management. Basic document management with library services and the ability to publish documents to the Web via the portal. More substantial document management (such as compound document authoring) and Web content management is not required and is considered of limited relevance to an SES. Features such as digital asset management and support for rich media are not required. Gartner Entire contents 2003 Gartner, Inc. All rights reserved.

2 Collaboration and community support. The ability of groups of self-selected users to participate in discussions and document sharing (often referred to as teamrooms ) is the basic requirement. Not all products include real-time collaboration capabilities, but Gartner expects that to soon be a requirement. The ability to deliver presence awareness will be an important feature in this capability. Messaging ( and voice mail) is not considered a requirement in the suite, although a few vendors include it. In most cases, Gartner expects an SES to be deployed alongside current messaging (and directory) infrastructure. Information retrieval. The ability to index and search information managed within the suite is a common element of content, collaboration and portal features. Extending this capability to other data sources is desirable, but not required. More-advanced features, including information categorization, taxonomy generation, profiling and expertise location, are not required. Process management. Targets not the repetitive tasks supported by traditional workflow, but the ad hoc and dynamic activities characteristic of knowledge workers. The extent of the process support offered in a suite varies considerably. This is an area where more market exposure will determine the feature set more precisely. A basic level of business process management tools will become an expected feature. Business intelligence and data analytics functionality. Gartner does not expect the full capabilities of major business intelligence suites to be incorporated into the SES. However, some analytics functionality tightly integrated with the use of the functionality in the suite can enable use of the suite to be monitored effectively and provide a valuable feedback loop supporting the dynamics of collaboration. Multichannel access. Providing connectivity to a range of desktop and mobile devices via a mix of connectivity methods is supported for content management and collaboration. This functionality is considered optional now, but is becoming a standard feature of portal frameworks. Future assessments are likely to focus on the scope and flexibility of multichannel capabilities this may involve exploiting companion products, rather than being a component within the SES. Portal framework. Although Gartner has not required that the portal framework be part of the suite, any product that is delivered to work with other portal products must do so via an installation process without requiring any development or custom configuration. Magic Quadrant Background Gartner has developed its first Smart Enterprise Suite Magic Quadrant (see Figure 1). As always in an emerging market segment, the criteria for inclusion are somewhat fluid. Any vendor that offers a combination of portal, content management and collaboration support, and offers those functions as a suite was considered. Other functions in particular, analytics capability although not requirements, are considered additional strengths in the market. Figure 1 Gartner s Smart Enterprise Suite Magic Quadrant
3 Challengers Leaders Ability to Execute IBM Microsoft Documentum FileNet Sun Oracle CA imanage SiteScape Stellent divine BroadVision Open Text SAP Plumtree Software Hummingbird Vignette PeopleSoft Siebel Systems Hyperwave As of March 2003 Niche Players Visionaries Comp let ene ss of Vis ion CA Computer Associates International Source: Gartner Research S un Sun Micro syste ms Gartner has not regarded it as necessary for a vendor to own or develop all of the technology in the suite, but it must be delivered as a package from one vendor, not simply by cross-marketing agreements. In rating the vendors, Gartner has looked at strengths in each of the component areas, as well as market presence and other standard factors in considering Ability to Execute. For Vision, Gartner has considered the degree to which the vendor has identified with the concept of a suite as a primary element in its approach to the market, and the capabilities so far delivered by the suite. Market Commentary Although the market is new, it has already undergone one significant change. Gartner originally anticipated that the first generation of SESs would be a package primarily of established application functionality bundled into a single product offering. That would have the advantages of simplified purchasing and reduced integration complexity, and, with suitable price points, could drive the adoption of this functionality into wider markets. Gartner expected that this might be followed by the emergence of the SES as a platform for developing new applications such applications would combine the capabilities of transaction-based processing with extended features supporting rich content and collaborative business processes.
4 In fact, the second generation has not been distinct, and some vendors are already addressing the issue of SES as platform. This has therefore been reflected by consideration of exploitation of a service-oriented architecture and the provision of tools for creating composite applications. No Leaders or Challengers Because SES is a young market, Gartner has not yet identified any Leaders or Challengers. In this Magic Quadrant, Ability to Execute has been assessed with regard to investment directed to this market, as well as presence in the precursor markets (portals, content management and collaboration support). As the suite market becomes established, prior positions will become less important and success will be predicated on execution specifically as a suite vendor. Gartner therefore expects significant shifts in the future in the position of the vendors. Visionaries Quadrant Visionaries are companies that show a strong understanding of the likely evolution of the market. They may lack a strong track record in a market. In this case, because the SES market is still emerging, there is little to speak of in terms of past proven success, so the Ability to Execute rankings are modest overall. IBM and SAP are the most advanced in their offerings, reflecting the scale of investment and the breadth of their offerings. Plumtree Software, the strongest of the pure play portal vendors also makes a strong showing, but lags somewhat as a result of its lesser scale. Its offer is limited by less capability of its tools for creation of composite applications using the SES as a platform. Hummingbird and Open Text are, from the collaborative document management sector, the leading visionary vendors. Hummingbird has, for some time, offered a broad range of capabilities representative of the SES. Its challenge will be to sustain a competitive position against much-larger companies. Open Text has a comprehensive content and collaboration capability, and the recent acquisition of Corechange should address its weakness in portals. Vignette s more-limited initial focus on Web content management was expanded by the acquisition of Epicentric. The product integration is not yet complete, but the vision of a comprehensive application platform is powerful. PeopleSoft, another major business application vendor, is following a path similar to SAP s. Both enterprises are looking to create new applications exploiting the breadth of the SES as a platform and also offering the platform as a product in its own right. PeopleSoft, however, is significantly less advanced in achieving this goal. SAP has delivered initial xapps and the NetWeaver platform. PeopleSoft s AppConnect platform is less extensive and has yet to be targeted at the full range of collaborative and content-centric applications. Siebel Systems Application Base contains most of the elements of an SES, but it has not been a player in any of the precursor markets. It remains unclear to what extent Siebel will choose to offer generic platform capabilities vs. focusing on specific business applications.
5 Computer Associates International has established a position using its portal as a framework to deliver business intelligence capability. It is now extending this functionality to deliver additional elements of the SES. Hyperwave has for some time delivered a combination of portal, collaboration and content capabilities. It remains a small company with little presence in the United States (it is based in Germany), but nonetheless has demonstrated good vision toward the SES. Niche Players Oracle, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems, all powerhouse companies, have shown an interest in entering the SES market, but have yet to demonstrate a comprehensive vision. Oracle, although it has named its product Oracle Collaboration Suite, has so far focused attention on and messaging functions. It has no significant content management functionality, and has yet to leverage any of its tools expertise into this space, so Oracle Collaboration Suite is not currently considered an application platform product. Microsoft clearly has capabilities in all aspects of the SES, but it has so far focused more on the development of distinct products across the range of SES functions. SharePoint Portal Server combines the features of a portal and document management, but is not a leading product in either category. Other elements of the Microsoft portfolio, such as Web content management and real-time collaboration are, as yet, not fully integrated. Sun Microsystems acquired assets from iplanet, and it has potential in this market, but Sun has yet to show significant commitment. imanage, Stellent, BroadVision, SiteScape and divine are all moving toward a suite from different starting points and with different strengths. They are more-specialized offerings as compared with those from IBM or SAP but, as is often the case with niche vendors, where the product fits, it may well be a better choice than a powerhouse vendor s offering. imanage is building toward a suite, for example, embedding WebEx to provide real-time collaboration capabilities, but it has yet to build momentum as a suite vendor. Stellent has a content management background, but only recently has the company shown interest in pursuing a broader target. BroadVision is showing signs of recovering from severe financial problems and recognizing that it needs to extend beyond its content-centric portal product. SiteScape remains a small vendor focused on collaboration and using partnerships to deliver a broader suite. divine has made acquisitions that have given it capabilities across the whole portfolio. So far, however, it has chosen to focus on extranet solutions rather than the SES. Its recent Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing severely limits its ability to execute. Documentum and FileNet, leading document management vendors, have substantial assets that could be applied to the SES market, but neither has yet delivered the full range of capabilities required for the suite in an integrated fashion.
6 Documentum, with its purchase of eroom, has demonstrated a recognition of the need to move beyond its traditional strength in document management, but still falls short of a suite in the portal dimension. FileNet s focus on content integration technologies is an important component of the SES, but it is insufficient to make it a leading contender. Bottom Line The SES market is showing the potential strength of some powerhouse vendors (IBM and SAP), but there is a good range of smaller or more-specialized companies also pursuing this opportunity. Potential buyers will have to decide between the breadth of an offer and its potential tie-in to current infrastructure, or choose to pursue more-targeted approaches to the integration of collaboration, applications and information access with lower initial cost and commitment.
