Gartner is a well-respected IT research firm and consultancy. This year, Hexagon was mentioned as a Sample Vendor in 13 Gartner Hype Cycle reports. Of those, we think eight are aligned with Hexagon’s Safety, Infrastructure & Geospatial division technologies.
What is a Hype Cycle?
As per a Gartner note, “Gartner Hype Cycles provide a graphic representation of the maturity and adoption of technologies and applications, and how they are potentially relevant to solving real business problems and exploiting new opportunities.”*
Hexagon is proud to be mentioned as a Sample Vendor in several Hype Cycles this year, as well as in years past. We believe this recognition validates our commitment to making the world’s critical services and infrastructure more resilient and sustainable.
Overview of Hexagon’s recognition in the 2024 Gartner Hype Cycles
- Hype Cycle for Public Safety and Law Enforcement, 2024: Named a Sample Vendor in the Real-Time Incident Center as a Service category for four consecutive years.
According to Gartner, “Growth of real-time incident management, increasingly enabled by as-a-service offerings, is critical to satisfy mission needs and resource utilization efficiency.”
- Hype Cycle for Human Services in Government, 2024: Mentioned as a Sample Vendor for the Digital Twins of Government category for the second time in a row.
Gartner states that, “DToGs address the challenge of establishing common operations across interdependent systems. They support the democratization of insight for public administration, the private sector and citizens to reduce costs, and improve the efficiency and quality of operations and citizen services.”
- Hype Cycle for Local Government, 2024: Named a Sample Vendor in the Geospatial Platform category.
Gartner notes that, “Location and time are important for contextualizing operational, transactional, mobile and sensor data. Analyzing operational data within the context of location can reveal spatial trends, dependencies and patterns that are otherwise undetectable.”
- Hype Cycle for Oil & Gas, 2024: Recognized as a Sample Vendor for the Geospatial Platform category for the sixth time.
As stated by Gartner, “A geospatial platform equips asset-intensive organizations with a pace-layered strategy toward intelligent operations, deploying innovative applications that leverage time- and event-stamped locational transactions.”
- Hype Cycle for Smart City Technologies & Solutions, 2024: Mentioned as a Sample Vendor for the Digital Twins of Government category and for Smart City Transportation Strategy category for the third time in a row.
Gartner emphasizes that, “A smart city transportation strategy can help transportation agencies in cities and regions collaborate with public and private sector stakeholders to address future mobility and transport opportunities.”
- Hype Cycle for Environmental Sustainability, 2024: Mentioned as a Sample Vendor for the Geospatial Platform category for third time in a row.
According to Gartner, “Organizations seek to capture the value of location to understand and engage customers, improve sustainability initiatives (such as climate risk modeling or ecosystem restoration and conservation), optimize supply chains and asset usage, develop and interact with a broader ecosystem and improve operational efficiencies.”
- Hype Cycle for Power & Utility Industry, 2024: Recognized as a Sample Vendor for the Geospatial Platform category for the eighth time.
Gartner states, “Geospatial platforms can support real-time modeling; visualize data layers in a topology (such as electrical, gas and/or water and pipeline networks); model geological and surface feature relationships; and depict the relationship between assets, surrounding “things” and the environment.”
- Hype Cycle for Smart City & Sustainability in China, 2024: Mentioned as a Sample Vendor for the Digital Twins of Government category and for Smart City Transportation Strategy category for three consecutive years.
Gartner states that, “A fully realized digital twin will:
- integrate data from multiple sources,
