Interesting points that I note:
- IBM leads its closest rival by a margin of 3 to 1.
- I’ve never heard of Sterling Commerce. Ever
- There’s still 47% of the market fragmented into small pieces (sub 2%).
Gartner also predicts strong continuing demand in the integration space:
…vendors are shifting their traditional application infrastructure and middleware products mix toward ESBs and BPMS in response to the strong demand for products that support service-oriented architecture (SOA) and process-centric applications. Thirdly, the globalization and internationalization of companies are driving B2B integration requirements and sophistication.
