The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Service Bus, Q4 2005

The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Service Bus, Q4 2005
Forrester Wave

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is hot: by the end of 2005, Forrester expects that 77% of large enterprises, 51% of medium enterprises, and 46% of small enterprises will be actively implementing SOA. The enterprise service bus (ESB) is today's primary entry point for SOA. ESBs provide Digital Business Architecture (see figure at right) with the messaging infrastructure to connect your business endpoints -- users, devices, and partners -- to the digital business engine of your business services. Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of ten vendors using 100 criteria, yielding the Wave™ above. Separate scorecard documents were created for BEA Systems, Cape Clear Software, Fiorano Software, IONA Technologies, Oracle, PolarLake, Sonic Software, Sun Microsystems, TIBCO, and webMethods. Included in this report is an interactive vendor comparison tool that provides detailed product evaluations and customizable rankings.
