Vendor Landscape Storyboard: Application Integration Middleware

Author(s): Paul Ouellette, Stewart Bond

One vendor solution achieved the top spot in the evaluation of application integration middleware, but competitors offer compelling alternatives, especially where business requirements or existing IT security solutions dictate a different priority for specific product features.

Use this research to:

  • Understand current capabilities of  application integration middleware vendors and evaluate offerings for best fit.
  • Use scenario analysis and case studies to shortlist vendors.
  • Assess implementation recommendations and pitfalls.

Focus first on business requirements so that current and future application integration middleware objectives can be achieved through the vendor and product chosen – whether the objective is encrypting data on removable or mobile devices, or being able to remote wipe data.
