Cora Systems Included in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Strategic Portfolio Management 

Specialist strategic portfolio management for complex, regulated and asset-intensive industries 

Cora Systems, a leading provider of strategic project and portfolio management solutions, announces today that it has been included in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Strategic Portfolio Management report. 

According to Gartner,

“Strategic portfolio management technologies provide enterprise-wide portfolio modeling for continuous strategic planning with maximum adaptability to optimize investments and outcomes.”

Cora SPM is purpose-built for complex, asset-intensive and heavily regulated industries — including aerospace, defense and government, industrial manufacturing, life sciences, and oil, gas and energy. It enables organizations to manage long-term capital planning and investment optimization while meeting demanding compliance and audit requirements. Built for depth rather than breadth, Cora SPM goes deep on the governance these portfolios demand — earned-value discipline, a full audit trail for every change, and long-horizon capital planning.  

Acting as the governance and control layer between strategy, funding and execution, Cora SPM enforces accountability, clear decision-making authority and consistent performance standards. Deep native SAP ERP integration keeps portfolio governance aligned with the systems of record these regulated industries depend on. 

Philip Martin, CEO, Cora Systems, said:

“Our customers run some of the most complex, capital-intensive and tightly regulated portfolios in the world — from aerospace and defense to energy, manufacturing and life sciences — where a single missed dependency or compliance gap carries real cost. We believe being included in the Gartner Magic Quadrant reflects the deep industry expertise we’ve built alongside them, and the governance Cora gives leaders over how strategy becomes funded, audited and delivered. That focus is deliberate — we build for these industries rather than adapting to them — and it’s where we’ll keep investing.”

Conor O’Sullivan, Chief Product and Technology Officer, Cora Systems, added:

“AI is an active priority at Cora today, and our approach is foundational: we build the data architecture and integration framework that lets customers deploy their own AI use cases across their entire ecosystem of tools — not a set of AI features confined to a single application. That same deep, native SAP ERP integration keeps portfolio governance tightly linked to customers’ systems of record, streamlining reporting and supporting regulatory compliance.”
