Report

leading workforce optimization market & future
|
Blue Pumpkin, an industry leader in enterprise workforce optimization
solutions, today announced its prominent standing as one of the top market
leaders in the latest study by Saddletree Research, a leading technology
research firm in the contact center and customer communications markets.
Entitled "The U.S. Workforce Management Software Market: 2003-2007", the
report establishes Blue Pumpkin as a dominant industry leader in the current
market and, consistent with other industry analyst findings, ranked the company
within two percentage points and closing on the market share lead in 2002.
Paul Stockford, chief analyst for Saddletree Research, notes Blue
Pumpkin’s meteoric rise and predicts a strengthening market share in the report:
"Blue Pumpkin has the products, leadership and vision to challenge the
leadership position in 2003. Blue Pumpkin has come from nowhere in the past few
years to the position of being the company to beat in the eyes of their
competitors."
In an explosive market that is expected to more than
quadruple in the next five years to over $819 million in revenues in the US
alone, Saddletree views Blue Pumpkin as "a company with significant
potential to continue to gain market share...firmly committed to continued
investment in product innovation. Blue Pumpkin will continue to be a force in
the workforce management market in the years to come as a result of the
company’s marketing prowess, its innovative product development capabilities and
its ability to deliver on a promise."
"Blue Pumpkin demonstrates all the
signs of a mature company," concludes Stockford. "Not only are they financially
stable and profitable – which is a significant feat in this economy – but are
also set up for growth and sustainability through expanding distribution
channels and an increasing number of reseller partners."
"The leading
industry analyst firms, such as Saddletree, are unanimous in their
conclusion that Blue Pumpkin is a true market leader, challenging older
competitors with an ongoing stream of innovations and quickly-climbing to the
top market share position," said Doron Aspitz, chairman and chief executive
officer of Blue Pumpkin. "Our rapid ascent shows that companies need a new kind
of business partner – one with the energy, creativity and commitment to help
them achieve important goals and succeed."
