Hyland is proud to be recognized as a Leader in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Document Management. We believe this recognition reflects Hyland’s strength in helping large, complex organizations manage, govern and activate content across mission-critical workflows.

For enterprises in regulated and risk-sensitive industries, document management is no longer just about storing and retrieving information. It is about creating a trusted content foundation for better decisions, faster workflows, stronger governance and AI-enabled automation.

With OnBase and Alfresco – extended by the Hyland Content Innovation Cloud™ – Hyland helps organizations connect content wherever it lives, apply governance and context, and bring AI-enabled content services into the flow of work.

We believe Hyland’s position as a Leader reflects three areas that matter most to customers choosing a document management partner:

  • Governed content management for complex enterprises
    Manage high-value content with the security, auditability, retention, process integrity and scale required for mission-critical operations.

    Turn distributed content into governed, actionable context for knowledge discovery, intelligent document processing, workflow automation and future agentic use cases.
  • Deep industry expertise for operational workflows
    Apply decades of domain experience across healthcare, insurance, banking, government and other content-intensive industries where documents, data and process must work together.
