Kony is recognized as a Leader for its completeness of vision and ability to execute in the first Magic Quadrant for MXDP. As the largest provider focused purely on omni-channel digital solutions, Kony serves leading companies across multiple industries, including banking and financial services, retail, healthcare and energy sectors.

Kony Quantum (News - Alert) enables businesses to build mission-critical web and mobile solutions for both employees and consumer-facing apps on a unified platform, resulting in greater speed and productivity. "Less is more when it comes to platforms but more is more when it comes to multiexperience," said Thomas E. Hogan, chairman and chief executive officer, Kony, Inc. "We believe the power of Kony Quantum lies in its unique ability to deliver the richest digital experiences across a range of web and mobile applications for employees and consumers." According to Gartner, "this is the first Magic Quadrant for multiexperience development platforms (MXDPs), its predecessors having been Magic Quadrants for mobile app development platforms (MADPs). The change of name reflects the evolution of MADPs to serve expanding app use cases and development requirements. These requirements go beyond mobile apps to enable development of progressive web apps (PWAs), conversational apps (voice assistants and chatbots), immersive apps and wearable apps." According to Gartner, "the term 'multiexperience' refer to the various permutations of modality (touch, voice and gesture, for example), device and app with which users interact on their digital journeys across diverse touchpoints. Multiexperience development involves creating fit-for-purpose apps based on touchpoint-specific modalities, while at the same time ensuring a consistent user experience across web, mobile, wearables, conversational and immersive touchpoints. Multiexperience development is typically undertaken using a variety of technologies, but single platforms are emerging that bring together the required technologies." Gartner defines Leaders in this Magic Quadrant as follows: "Leaders have strong capabilities in mobile app and web development, and demonstrate a compelling product vision and commitment to multiexperience development in their platforms. They have large customer bases and robust partner ecosystems, and have shown healthy growth in this market. However, this market is rapidly evolving, so Leaders might not stay Leaders for long."
