Gartner; 19 December 2008
"This research aims at helping organizations select a comprehensive end-to-end application infrastructure to support composite application projects in the context of SOA and other initiatives. Mature products are available, but technologies are evolving, and the vendor landscape is changing."

Gartner; 19 December 2008
"New development of service-oriented business applications requires a complex collection of capabilities in runtime-enabling technologies and development tools. We examine the ability of leading application infrastructure vendors to provide complete end-to-end support for such projects. " |

Gartner; 3 December 2008
"Reference Architecture for Multitenancy: Enterprise Computing "in the Cloud" In the long term (beyond the next five years), computing "in the cloud" requires technologies and architectures that are designed for the cloud. In the short term (the next three to five years), intermediate models of technology and architecture will help the IT industry make the transition, although some of the intermediate technologies and architectures may not endure."

"Composite applications are becoming more prevalent and mainstream as adoption of service- and Web-oriented architectures grows and as relevant technology and standards mature. Gartner's research will track this emerging market as technologies, vendors, best practices and strategies evolve." |

Gartner; 10 July 2008
"The software foundation of business applications is undergoing a continuing transformation that directly affects architects, application developers and middleware technologists and that, via service-oriented architecture, indirectly affects applications and IT services worldwide."

Gartner; 2 July, 2008
"Market-dominating .NET and Java Platform, Enterprise Edition technologies weren't designed for software as a service. Will SaaS become so compelling that it forces platform vendors to redesign their core technologies, or will SaaS remain a niche software area supported by niche enabling platforms?"

Gartner; 27 March 2008
"Despite market consolidation, innovation in platform and integration middleware goes on. We look at five vendors with products in open-source, service-oriented-architecture-enabling infrastructure, grid platforms, composite application development, low-latency messaging and integration-as-a-service."

Forrester; 10 December 2007
"Many enterprises are still supporting their B2B requirements with basic electronic data interchange (EDI) technology that is more than 20 years old. While this technology still provides value, its ongoing use in isolation from newer alternatives will increasingly limit the ability of organizations to implement flexible and strategic process improvements. For maximum impact, enterprise architects need to pursue B2B modernization efforts with tools that support both business process management (BPM) and service-oriented architecture (SOA)."

Gartner; 23 August 2007
"Flow management technology has been around for years in many forms, but service-oriented architecture is putting it back into the limelight. Users will have to select multiple flow-management-enabling products: different styles of flow management in SOA have radically different technical requirements."

Forrester; 11 July 2007
"Magic Software, a company focused on midmarket companies and departments within large enterprises, showed that it has a strong platform for many Web and SOA applications. Magic's iBOLT Suite scored well in architecture, development, and deployment but not as well in standards support and some advanced features.
Magic's good showing as an independent service-oriented architecture business process management (SOA/BPM) environment reflects the company's focus on these applications.
Platforms like Magic iBOLT Suite represent the future of this market, in which powerful and dynamic representations of business process and policy drive applications, and developers don't have to know the underlying platform APIs to succeed."

"Gartner has defined a new market for application infrastructure that reflects the convergence and overlap of many of the products available to support application development (AD), deployment and execution. Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure, 2Q07, analyzes the total application infrastructure market and the relevance of suppliers whose products might be used in a variety of project types. This Magic Quadrant should be used in combination with the Magic Quadrants that reflect the buying behaviors for specific project types within an enterprise, as well as the Magic Quadrants for specialized product categories, where appropriate."

Gartner; 3 May 2007
Commercial service-oriented architecture infrastructure products that contain enterprise service bus technology differ from each other according to the usage scenarios for which they are optimized. Packaging and features vary, depending on whether integration is a primary or secondary consideration. |
|

Gartner; 3 May 2007
"This research describes two enterprise service bus (ESB) usage scenarios and the associated technical requirements and product features that address those scenarios. Architects and IT managers who are buying service-oriented architecture (SOA) infrastructure tools must understand which type of product is most appropriate for their purposes."

Forrester; 19 March 2007
"The wide range of packaged integration alternatives, and resulting significant overlap of features and functions among the various product categories, make it difficult for enterprise architects to select the best alternative to meet their integration needs.
Scenario-based guidance on the relative suitability of different solution types among the individual integration products can help enterprise architects engaged in the vendor selection process to more effectively evaluate the various integration alternatives."

Forrester; 20 December 2006
"With its integration solution, iBolt, and OEM partnership with W4 for business process management (BPM), Magic Software Enterprises provides a comprehensive solution and has been ranked as a Strong Performer in its first appearance in Forrester's integration-centric business process management suite (IC-BPMS) evaluation. Magic has a midmarket focus, and its pricing makes it an appealing alternative, coupled with a partnership with SAP that accelerates connection of SAP Business One customers to their SME-based applications.
Magic has also built market share in the IBM midrange (iSeries) category.
Its comprehensive coverage makes it a good fit for midsize companies looking for an all-in-one solution for their integration, BPM, and service-oriented architecture (SOA) needs."

Forrester; 10 March 2006
"Forrester interviewed more than 20 vendors, including BEA Systems, Fuego, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sun Microsystems, TIBCO Software, and webMethods, about their efforts to use SOA features in their BPMS products."

Forrester; 26 January 2006
"Enterprises seek to improve the efficiency, effectiveness, and strategic value of key business processes.
Since processes span a wide range of requirements, it's no surprise that BPMS products provide varying degrees of support for human interactions, system and application integration, document processing, and complex decision-making.
Although products increasingly overlap, until human and integration-centric products converge, enterprises may need more than one BPMS to address all types of business processes."
