“We believe our entrance to Gartner’s 2014 Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools shows that our decision to combine pragmatic methodology with our open metamodel based tool in our enterprise architecture offering has been a correct one. Our offering is continuously receiving a positive feedback from our customers and partners in both public and private organizations”, says Mr. Jaakko Riihinen, Senior Vice President, Products and Technology at QPR Software Plc.
