19th October 2021

Reply was recently positioned as a "Leader" in the IDC MarketScape: "European Smart Manufacturing Service Providers 2021 Vendor Assessment" (Doc # EUR148013421, July 2021).

The study uses the IDC MarketScape model to assess fourteen leading European smart manufacturing service providers that support end-to-end smart manufacturing programmes and transformation initiatives.

IDC MarketScape vendor assessment model is designed to provide an overview of the competitive fitness of ICT (information and communications technology) suppliers in a given market. The research methodology utilizes a rigorous scoring methodology based on both qualitative and quantitative criteria that results in a single graphical illustration of each vendor's position within a given market. IDC MarketScape provides a clear framework in which the product and service offerings, capabilities and strategies, and current and future market success factors of IT and telecommunications vendors can be meaningfully compared.

"We are very proud that the IDC MarketScape positions us as a "Leader" for Smart Manufacturing in Europe.
