Ardoq Named a Leader in the 2025 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture Tools

For the fifth consecutive year, Ardoq has been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Architecture Tools. We believe this recognition reflects our continued focus on innovation, customer value, and delivering the most flexible enterprise architecture (EA) platform for organizations navigating constant change.

Ardoq: The Smarter Way to EA

We are particularly proud to be ranked #1 for the Enterprise Transformation and Portfolio Management Use Cases and #2 for Advanced Roadmapping Use Case in the Gartner® 2025 Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Architecture Tools, a companion report to the Magic Quadrant™. We believe these are the two areas where Enterprise Architecture drives the most business impact and that these rankings validate our approach of connecting strategy to execution with a focus on real business outcomes.

Proven History of Innovation and Execution

“With half our revenue reinvested into R&D, we’ve built a platform that prioritizes innovation and keeps our customers ahead of change.”
- Erik Bakstad, CEO and Co-Founder of Ardoq

Ardoq invests almost 50% of revenue into R&D each year. We believe this level of commitment is unique in our industry, ensuring that our customers are always ahead of the curve. Our applied research team is dedicated to forward-looking innovation, with recent advances in AI governance, conversational workflows, and AI-generated business value streams.

The Most Flexible EA Platform

“Ardoq’s graph-based foundation gives enterprises the clarity they need to understand complexity and orchestrate transformation with precision.”
- Jason Baragry, Chief Architect at Ardoq

Built on a proprietary graph-based foundation, Ardoq allows organizations to instantly see how everything connects. We believe this is the strongest foundation for an AI-first world, enabling easy adaptation to unique business contexts without custom development.

Strongest Business Process Management Focus in EA

We feel that Ardoq is the only Leader that combines Enterprise Architecture and Business Process Management (BPM). With our Business Process Management solution, integrations with SAP Signavio, a partnership with Celonis, and the acquisition of ShiftX, Ardoq helps organizations bridge process and architecture under one platform.

“We’ve created the most flexible EA platform for an AI-first world — one that lets organizations instantly see how everything connects and adapt with confidence.”
— Erik Bakstad, CEO and Co-Founder of Ardoq

We believe this Gartner recognition reflects our core mission: to enable customers to achieve critical business outcomes with a Smarter Way to EA. For our customers, this means being empowered to:

• Reduce costs by identifying redundancies and optimizing IT portfolios.
• Mitigate risks by understanding the impact of changes across the organization.
• Accelerate time-to-market for strategic change initiatives.
