Eptura Named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Workplace Experience Applications
Talent Management / Employee Experience | 4 min read
Eptura, the global worktech company, has been named a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Workplace Experience (WEX) Applications, recognised for both Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute. The recognition marks a significant category evolution for Eptura, which was previously recognised by Gartner in the Integrated Workplace Management Systems (IWMS), Computerised Maintenance Management Systems (CMMS), and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) quadrants. The WEX designation reflects the broader industry shift now underway: workplace experience has matured from a set of isolated engagement tools into a coordinated business discipline requiring alignment across people, space, services, and systems — at enterprise scale, across hybrid work models, and under increasing governance and compliance pressure.
"To us, this recognition reflects a broader shift we're seeing across organisations. Workplace experience is no longer just about engagement or amenities. It's about coordinating people, spaces, and operations in a way that supports better decision making as complexity increases."
— Raj Batra, Chief Executive Officer, Eptura
What the WEX Category Represents — and Why It Matters Now
As workplace expectations continue to evolve, organisations face increasing pressure to deliver consistent, high-quality experiences across offices, regions, and work models — while maintaining governance, operational efficiency, and portfolio visibility. The emergence of Gartner's WEX Applications category reflects the recognition that workplace experience is no longer an HR engagement initiative or a facilities management function in isolation, but a cross-functional business discipline. Eptura's approach addresses this directly: its unified, AI-backed platform connects experience signals with the operational systems that support real estate, facilities, and services — reducing fragmentation across workplace tools and enabling greater adaptability as business needs change. The platform is specifically designed for environments where workplace decisions carry real operational and financial consequences, not just culture or amenity value.
What Eptura's Platform Enables at Enterprise Scale
Eptura's platform delivers five interconnected capabilities for complex workplace environments. It improves visibility into how workplaces are actually used — giving leaders more confident decision-making around space allocation, flexibility, and long-term portfolio optimisation. It supports complex hybrid programmes at scale, coordinating people, spaces, and services across regions, buildings, and roles without adding administrative burden. It reduces fragmentation and tool sprawl by connecting workplace experience with facilities, asset, and service workflows in a single platform. It strengthens governance and risk management — particularly for regulated or high-value industries requiring auditability, policy enforcement, and consistent global standards. And it enables sustained change planning, using data-driven insights and scenario-based planning to adapt workplace strategies as conditions and expectations evolve. Together, these capabilities help organisations move beyond static policies and reactive adjustments toward a more adaptive, data-led approach to workplace experience.
From IWMS to WEX: Eptura's Evolving Gartner Recognition
Eptura's recognition across four distinct Gartner categories — IWMS, CMMS, EAM, and now WEX Applications — reflects the company's evolution from a facilities and asset management specialist into a comprehensive worktech platform that spans the full enterprise workplace lifecycle: from real estate planning and facilities operations through day-to-day employee experience and hybrid work coordination. The 2026 WEX designation positions Eptura among the platforms Gartner considers to have both the strategic vision and the operational capability to lead the emerging workplace experience market — a category that is becoming increasingly central to how enterprises think about the relationship between physical workspace, workforce productivity, and long-term real estate strategy.
