Worldwide BPM and Middleware 1H09 Vendor Analysis: Review of Customer and Partner Win Announcements

This IDC study analyzes trends from customer and partner deals announced in the first half of 2009 for various segments of middleware. The listing of deals contains data by vertical, region, customer size, and market.

"BPM, SOA, and event-driven projects continued to be popular in the first half of 2009," according to Maureen Fleming, program director, Business Process Management and Middleware. "However, the most interesting trend was the large representation of small customers that made middleware purchases during the period."
