ENT News | at | by Mike
While the combination of Microsoft Corp.'s BizTalk Server and XML Web services is showing promise as an enterprise application integration tool, it's still too early to tell whether Redmond will stake a claim to turf along side traditional EAI heavyweights. According to a June 2002 report by IT analyst firm Gartner Inc., Microsoft is a leader in the application integration broker space, rated above such notable players as BEA, SeeBeyond, Sterling Commerce, Tibco, Vitria and webMethods. In fact - in terms of market revenue, market share, and market reach - Gartner rates Microsoft behind only IBM.
