Since the publication of last year's Gartner Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools report, the award winning Denodo Platform has made significant enhancements in data integration automation. In March, Denodo released Denodo Platform 9.4, enabling AI systems, applications, and users to reliably access live data, understand business context, and operate with strong performance within clear governance boundaries, and in July, Denodo released Denodo Platform 9.5, providing active context for trustworthy agentic AI.

The Denodo Platform, by establishing the critical AI data layer, provides the most flexible, direct foundation for trustworthy, AI-ready data, in support of advanced automation," said Ravi Shankar, senior vice president and chief marketing officer at Denodo. "We are extremely proud that Gartner has once again recognized Denodo as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Data Integration Tools, as Gartner has done for the previous six years. This strengthens our conviction that an overarching, cross-platform AI data layer, with active context, provides the most effective foundation for tackling complex challenges with autonomous AI."
