Gartner strives to meet the highest standards for accuracy and thoroughness in our research and editorial coverage. When oversights occur, however, we will list them below.
12 June 2008 In "Worldwide M2M Cellular Module Market Overview, 1H08" (G00158935), the company name Sagem Telecommunications was corrected to Sagem Communications. This reference appears in the "Market Size and Dynamics" and "Vendors" sections and in Figure 4 of this research. An updated version of the document is available on gartner.com.
“Magic Quadrant for Data Quality Tools” (G00157464) has been republished to include Exeros in the list of vendors not included in the Magic Quadrant but which Gartner clients may wish to consider. An updated version is now available on gartner.com.
6 June 2008 “Market Share: Network-Attached Storage/Unified Storage, Worldwide, 2007" (G00158372) has been updated. Changes were necessary to correct the 2007 data in Table 1-15 for Microsoft Windows Storage Server/Unified Data Storage Server and the 2006 and 2007 data for the "others" category. An updated version of the document is now available on gartner.com.
In "Case Study: Insurer Addresses USA Patriot Act Requirements" (G00156791), we corrected the name of ChoicePoint's OFAC product to be Bridger Insight, which it purchased from Bridger Systems. In addition, in Figure 2, we corrected the name of ChoicePoint's product to be the ChoicePoint Identity Verification (ID Verification) Service.
28 May 2008 "Quarterly Statistics: Disk Array Storage, All Regions" (G00138370) contained erroneous or missing data points when it was originally published because of a realignment of Gartner's Q-Stats database. These errors have been corrected, and the revised document is now on available on gartner.com.
“Best Practices for Data Destruction" (G00158207) was republished to change a reference from "Challenger space shuttle" to "Columbia space shuttle." An updated version of the document is now available on gartner.com
"Quarterly Statistics: Disk Array Storage, All Regions" (G00138370) has been republished to correct missing or incorrect data as a result of migrating our quarterly statistics data from an old database to Gartner’s new database. There was missing or incorrect data following the migration, including revenue, units, capacities and operating system splits for some vendors in 2006 and 2007. Some of the missing data before 4Q07 was not identified when the original pivot table was posted, thereby reflecting an inconsistency for prior quarters that affected yearly revenue market shares. We also failed to consolidate some vendor product families to clean up old data from 2005 through 2007 during the initial migration, which caused some revenue, units, capacities, and operating system data to be lost. Using the new database required entering 4Q07 access methods (for example, Internet Small Computer System Interface, Fibre Channel, and so on) and backfilling that data for all of 2007. In some cases, that data was not entered properly which caused errors in revenue, units, and capacity. These errors have all been corrected, and the revised document is now on available on gartner.com.
"Quarterly Statistics: Disk Array Storage, All Regions, All Countries" (G00138371) has been republished to correct missing or incorrect data as a result of migrating our quarterly statistics data from an old database to Gartner’s new database.

In "10 Best Practices for Customer Data Integration" (G00152601), the numbering of the "Best Practice" sections was corrected. There had been two best practices labeled Best Practice 6; the second has been changed to Best Practice 7. An updated version of this document is available on gartner.com.
7 May 2008 "Changes Coming for Embedded 3G in Notebooks" (G00156891) was republished because there was an error with the rate per day for the pay-as-you-go plan, which we quoted at $12.99, but which is actually $15. An updated version of the document is available on gartner.com.
In"Toolkit Decision Framework: Pros and Cons of Suite-Based vs. CMDB Stand-Alone Approaches" (G00152909) has been republished to correct wording in the fourth sentence of the fourth paragraph in the Analysis section, so that it now reads, “Today, although most DM tools can discover the infrastructure components that comprise an application (for example, application, middleware and database), few of them can discover the complete IT service, which would include storage and networking devices.” An updated version of the document is available on gartner.com.

Ebara Technologies was corrected to Ebara. Although Integrated Process Systems is not specifically noted, we included its revenue in Tables 1 and 3 because it affected data in the regional sections. Oerlikon's WLP sputtering tool revenue has been included in its total PAE sales; we added the vendor to Table 4 and rank it No. 8 among the top 10 PAE suppliers.

"Magic Quadrant for Product Information Management, 2Q07" (G00148303), was republished due to a discrepancy in the i2 Technologies Strengths section. The original stated that "The last official release of i2 MDM for PIM was 6.2; release 6.2.2 was shipped in 2Q06 and supports global data synchronization workflows for suppliers, not retailers." However, it does support retailers and the document was changed to reflect this.
23 July 2007 In "Oracle Database 11g Could See Early Adoption" (G00150290), we stated that Oracle Database 11g was the company’s first major new release in about five years. This release was actually Oracle’s first major new release in about three years.
18 July 2007

13 July 2007
In our recently published document, "Market Trends: Global Telecom Market Overview, 2007" (G00144725), there was an erroneous statement on page/slide 8 that Vodafone revenues in 4Q06 were estimated. A corrected version of the document is now available on gartner.com.

13 June 2007 "Market Share: Application Development and Project and Portfolio Management" (G00148905) has been updated. Changes were necessary because of an oversight regarding UMT and Microsoft.

2 May 2007
In the recently published "Market Trends: IT Outsourcing, Europe, 2007" (G00147413), we have removed Unilog from the National/Regional Champions Sample List, and we have added LogicaCMG to the Global Multiregional Sample List. The change reflects the acquisition in 2006 of Unilog by LogicaCMG.
We have revised a recommendation in "Oracle Continues Utility Application Market Consolidation" (G00148501) to clarify that we were speaking of the viability of a product, not of a company. The Recommendation should read: "This is good news because it addresses Lodestar's product viability and will provide accelerated R&D funding for its energy commodity management products."

29 January 2007
Gartner Dataquest has corrected some of its statistics for market shares in the application delivery controller segment of the worldwide market for application acceleration equipment in 3Q06.

9 January 2007

Its new title is "Market Share and Forecast: CDI Hub Software, Worldwide, 2005-2010 (Composite View)." We’ve changed the summary to reflect the fact that this report offers a composite view of the CDI market, and we’ve added Reference 7-4, "Definition of a Composite View of the Market," to Chapter 7. In the pivot table, we’ve disabled the country-level view.
8 January 2007

The changes correct WAN Optimization Controller end-user spending and revenue for 2005 in Tables 1-1, 3-1 and 3-2. As a result, we now forecast that end-user spending on these products will rise by only 28% in 2006.
31 August 2006
On 31 August 2006, we republished Magic Quadrant for Offshore Application Services, 2006. We added a note stating that a weighting was applied to recognize the U.S. as the predominant buying market.

We recently republished Magic Quadrant for IT Project and Portfolio Management Applications" dated 22 June 2006, to correct several inaccuracies and ambiguities. Following are the revisions:

The phrase "despite a limited R&D budget" was dropped from PowerSteering’s write-up. PowerSteering’s budget is in line with other vendors of comparable size.
A Gartner Strategic Planning Assumption was moved to provide better context.
5 April 2006

We have adjusted our estimates for i2 Technologies because of publicly available information that was recently released. The correction represents 0.0047 percent of the worldwide SCM market. The effect is so minimal that no change is felt necessary. However, changes to individual vendor market share in each region, industry and OS have slightly affected each SCM segment's size and forecast for 2003 through 2008. An updated report has been published titled Forecast: SCM License Revenue, Worldwide, 2003-2008, Update (G00125530).

There was also a typographical error in the text in which we stated that the Memory market grew 54.4 percent. The actual growth rate for the Memory market was 44.7 percent. It was the DRAM market that grew 54.4 percent. We have corrected and republished the document.
15 December 2004
In the Gartner Dataquest research report Market Share: SCM Software, Worldwide, 2003 (G00121441), published 30 June 2004, the license revenues for Intentia and IFS were misrepresented by the inclusion of maintenance revenue. We have adjusted our estimates for i2 Technologies because of publicly available information that was recently released.
The correction represented 0.0047 percent of the worldwide SCM market. The effect was so minimal that no change was felt necessary. Changes to individual vendor market share in each region, industry and OS, as well as Gartner Dataquest’s representation of other vendors, are represented because of the shift in the two vendors’ revenue. It has a minor effect on the other vendors’ market share in these tables. We have provided market share for the United States and Canada as well. An updated report has been published titled Market Share: SCM Software, Worldwide, 2003, Update (G00125331).

In Information Democracy: Are We There Yet? (COM-23-0777), one of the examples for customers did not accurately reflect the impact on the customer relationship: "Car lease companies share management information with the fleet managers of their corporate clients. Consequently, the cars and the service processes do not provide competitive differences between suppliers." It has been updated to correct this oversight: "The cars and processes of car lease companies do not provide competitive differences between suppliers.

Gartner also noted that Pivotal does not have the support of a reseller network for penetrating midsize businesses and small enterprises. Although this is true in North America, Pivotal has more than 95 reseller partners in its international regions that account for over 50 percent of its international business. A revision to the report was published on 4 June.
1 June 2004
In the Gartner Dataquest research report titled Market Shares: Tape Automation Systems, Worldwide, 2003 published 23 April 2004, one Quantum product model was inadvertently included in the 20 Cartridges or Fewer category instead of the 21 to 100 Cartridges category in the SFF Half-Inch Cartridge segment.

27 May 2004
In the 20 May 2004 Market Statistics document titled Market Share and Forecast: Broadband Access, Asia/Pacific and Japan, 1998-2008, we had not updated the currency exchanges for various countries.

In our 14 October 2003 report, 2002 NSM Market Statistics and Vendor Shares, we did not include Quest's Shareplex product as a network and systems management (NSM) product. Gartner has reclassified the Quest Shareplex product as an NSM product for 2002. This increases Quest's NSM revenue estimate by about $17 million in the Availability and Performance category and in the total NSM aggregation. This change increases the estimate of Quest's NSM growth rate.
There is no material impact on the findings of the 2002 NSM Market Statistics and Vendor Shares report. There are slight and immaterial changes to total regional and operating systems estimates in Tables 1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 1-5, 1-11, 1-12. There is no impact on the NSM forecast outlook.

1 May 2003
In our 25 April Dataquest Alert entitled Server Shipments Slip Sequentially, Grow Yearly in 1Q03, we stated that "HP extended its worldwide unit market share leadership ". To clarify, this means that HP "extended" or continued its position in a series of reporting periods. It does not mean that HP has grown its absolute market share.
HP is still the lead in worldwide shipments despite a two percentage point decrease in worldwide market share in the quarter. Furthermore, HP maintained its U.S. market share year on year in shipments, although it lost that share leadership position in the U.S.
23 April 2003
In our 15 April 2003 report entitled Tape Automation Systems Market Shares, 2002, one vendor's library product in the Small Form Factor Half-Inch Cartridge/Other Data Cartridge and DLT/SDLT/LTO automation segment was incorrectly included in the 20 Cartridges or Less category. It should have been included in the 21 to 100 Cartridges category. This correction reduced the total units for 2002 and 2001 in Tables 7-3 and 7-4, and it resulted in increasing the total units for 2002 and 2001 in Tables 7-8 and 7-9. This change also resulted in changes to the vendors' market shares in the tables referenced and also led to some slight shifts in vendor rankings. The overall market size for this segment and for the total tape automation systems market remains unchanged.

In our March 20 report entitled PLM Market Requires Best-of-Breed and ERP Capabilities (M-19-4411), we stated that Agile Software suffers from declining revenue and ongoing quarterly losses.

The estimate should be $16.5 million (Table 6-1 and Figure 6-1). The report has been updated to reflect this change. The estimated size of the total security market in Europe and of the other security segment in 2000 were not affected.

In Research report M-14-3380, Consumer Goods Industry SFA 2H0l Magic Quadrant, October 1, 2001, we inadvertently reported that ASI Business Solutions, Inc, (ASI) had been acquired.
