LINZ, Austria--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fabasoft, a leading European cloud vendor for document and business process management, has been positioned as a Challenger with its Fabasoft Approve product by Gartner® in its first Magic Quadrant™ 2026 for Quality Management System Software. In the report, the analyst firm recognizes the company’s strengths and cautions.

“Gartner defines the market for quality management system (QMS/eQMS) software as stand-alone digital solutions with embedded emerging technological capabilities that enable organizations to systematically manage, monitor and improve the quality of their products, processes and services.” In its independent report, the IT analyst firm evaluated 12 different vendors based on 15 weighted criteria.

“We are delighted that Gartner has positioned our QMS as a Challenger. We see this as confirmation of our strategic direction and our technological innovations, particularly in the field of AI.

It provides an independent overview of how vendors compare and where the industry is headed. The evaluation is based on clear criteria that analyze both the company’s strategic vision “Completeness of Vision” and its “Ability to Execute”.
