Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant

Blueprint to Re-Cycle the much Hyped MagiK Kvadrant

By Zoli Erdos on March 25, 2013

Fellow Enterprise Irregular and HfS Research Founder Phil Fersht introduced their new Blueprint with an appropriate title: Step aside Magic Quadrant, hello Blueprint. I think such a milestone warrants a historical overview of Gartner’s Magic Quadrant, Hype Cycle, Magic Cycle, Magic Hype, Hyped Magik… or any other variation you prefer.  And since it’s just a few […]

Gartner’s Latest IaaS Magic Quadrant Released–Meh With a Bit of Interesting

Gartner’s Latest IaaS Magic Quadrant Released–Meh With a Bit of Interesting

By Ben Kepes on October 22, 2012

I’m not usually big on Gartner’s crystal-ball-gazing Magic Quadrant methodology – some people claim it’s pay-for-play writ large. I don’t know about that, it just seems to be a somewhat hokey, albeit scientifically-based, prediction of what might occur or, more often, hat already is. Anyway – with that said, the latest IaaS MQ is pretty […]

Sorry Gartner, Here’s the Real Magic Quadrant for SCRM

By Mark Fidelman on August 31, 2011

To understand what Social Customer Relationship Management (SCRM) is, we have to start with a clear definition. The definition must be clearly articulated and easily understood by individuals in the industry. In the Magic Quadrant for Social CRM, Gartner writes, “Social CRM applications need to be far more customer-centric than more-traditional CRM applications. Without benefits […]

By Martijn Linssen on April 7, 2011

With the above picture hardly legible on purpose, let me tell you a small story. Three months ago I was contacted by Derek Singleton with a question about a poll on his company site. I liked the company, liked the site, liked the poll, so wrote a small post about it This week, Hunter Richards […]

Variations on Hype Quadrants.. no Magic Hype… no, Hype Cycle.. or is it Magic Quadrant?

Variations on Hype Quadrants.. no Magic Hype… no, Hype Cycle.. or is it Magic Quadrant?

By Zoli Erdos on April 1, 2011

Gartner introduced their Real (Magic) Quadrant: Not bad.  But let’s not forget the customers’ prospective. Welcome to the Magik Kvadrant: But perhaps most revealing is Phil Fersht’s Painsharing Paradox: Enough of this quadrants, squres, cubes… let’s hype up some cycles.  Superseding the Gartner version, here’s the Wailgum Hype Cycle: Not bad.  Still a bit complex.  […]

Social Enterprise Magic Quadrant

By Martijn Linssen on February 4, 2011

Debate and savviness seems to be flying across the Twitter verse these days, Stowe Boyd wrote a post about that One quote there: And Dennis has been making his displeasure about the use of the term ‘social business’ known, but not by arguing about the principles involved. Instead, Howlett has adopted a ‘savviness’ cant: he […]

Sam Lawrence, formerly of Jive Software and Enterprise Octopus, most recently Blackbox Republic is baaaack.  Big Time.  Sorry.  I mean Go Big Always.  This time (actually a month ago) he is presenting the Magik Quadrant from a customer prospective.  (Should it not be the Magik Kvadrant?)
