Unpacking Gartner’s assessment of IBM in the 2019 Magic Quadrant for Operational DBMS

With the publication of Gartner’s 2019 Magic Quadrant (MQ) for Operational Database Management Systems, we were happy to see recognition of some of our key efforts from the past year. The integration of the Db2 common SQL engine and other rich features, edition simplification, commitment to multicloud and open source, and continued high-performance from our global support organization were praised as strengths among other notable AI benefits like machine learning optimization and natural language querying.
