 "BPM, Middleware Market Accelerating Sharply")
Recent International Data Corporation (IDC) research shows that the worldwide business process management (BPM) and middleware market recovered strongly from its 2009 growth slump and for 2010 revenue totaled nearly $16.1 billion, representing growth of 9.2% - up sharply from a growth rate of 2.2% in 2009.
“The BPM and middleware market continues to gain share overall in IT spending. Growth across the segments continues to be driven by innovation, even in the largest and most mature segments,” according to Maureen Fleming, program vice president, Business Process Management and Enterprise Middleware research programs.
Additional findings from this study include:
IBM is the largest vendor in this market, nearly double the size of second-largest Oracle. Microsoft is a distant third, less than one third the size of Oracle. However, at 20% growth in 2010, Microsoft was the fastest-growing large BPM and middleware vendor.
Of the two main components of the market, application server middleware grew the fastest at 10.8% while integration and process automation middleware grew 8.2%.
- Among the companies with at least $20 million in 2010 revenue, Accellion, Appian, Crossgate, Cordys, Global 360, InterSystems, Micro Focus, Nintex, Seeburger, YouSendIt, and Workday grew 35% or more during 2010.
