IC-BPMS TOOlS ARe GAMe-CHAnGInG TeCHnOlOGy
Te IC-BPMS soware category evolved out o the EAI space o the mid-to-late 1990s. Consequently,
the products in this space have a proven track record o supporting complex interactions between
internal applications and the business users who rely on them. During the last several years, vendors
have added additional capabilities or supporting a wide range o B2B interactions, along with
sophisticated BPM, SOA, and application development eatures.1
As a result, todays IC-BPMS products have captured a central role as the oundational middleware
component in many leading enterprises, and rms are using them with increasing requency
to deliver game-changing solutions. Forrester has recently published a separate document that
provides many details related to the IC-BPMS market and the selection criteria that we recommend
enterprise architects use when considering products in this soware category.2
It is becoming increasingly clear that the availability o these types o tools is enabling enterprises tosimultaneously improve operational eciency and support business innovation.3 For example,
Florida Community College at Jacksonville in Jacksonville, Fla., implemented the webMethods BPMS
rom Soware AG and was able to revamp its development organization with a new SOA-based
environment that supports end-user participation in the design o new systems, provides integration
and process improvement capabilities, and reduces overall development time by over 50%.
Th ICBPMS Va Propositio
Te IC-BPMS category o soware is one o the more comprehensive collections o middleware
tools available on the market today. Products in this group provide integrated eatures covering:
BPM. IC-BPMS tools provide support or BPM by using business process modeling notation(BPMN) business process execution language (BPEL), and XML-based process description
language (XPDL) that allow or graphical modeling o business processes that the soware then
interprets as executable code. Other BPM eatures provide support or process orchestration,
execution, monitoring, and optimization eorts.
B2B, EAI, and SOA. B2B capabilities can vary considerably by vendor, but IC-BPMSesgenerally provide eatures that support trading partner administration, onboarding, and trading
partner perormance reporting. And since most o the vendors in the group evaluated in this
Forrester Wave have a strong background in providing EAI solutions, the eatures in the EAI
area are quite extensive and include a core integration server and support or application andtechnology adapters. Tese middleware solutions also provide comprehensive support or
SOA; they have embedded enterprise service bus (ESB) unctionality as well as an SOA-based
metadata repository, and they have all adopted o a wide range o Web services standards.4

Application development. Finally, the capability o IC-BPMS tools to support new applicationdevelopment is one o the strongest eatures o this category o soware products; most IC-
BPMS vendors provide a comprehensive development ramework or supporting the creation
o composite applications and dynamic business applications.5 Tese rameworks include
model-driven-development-capable integrated development environments (IDEs), embedded
SOA support, and rules engines. Some o the Leaders provide ully unctional Web-based
development environments as well.
K Trds Wi Driv evotio O Th ICBPMS Markt
Te IC-BPMS market has been a volatile arena or several years, with market orces driving:
IC-BPMS vendor consolidation. Signicant vendor consolidation has taken place in thismarket during the past 18 months. Te recent Oracle acquisition o BEA Systems aects much
more than the IC-BPMS space, but it will have a signicant impact on that market nonetheless,with the eventual outcome being the loss o one major vendor in this product category.6
Soware AGs acquisition o webMethods was more ocused, as the acquired vendor provided
only IC-BPMS products. As a limited number o candidates or consolidation remain, the
potential or additional IC-BPMS vendor consolidation is somewhat limited compared with
past potential.
Te chase or dierentiation.Just as the early EAI vendors aggressively pursued new productcapabilities that led to the creation o the IC-BPMS category, todays vendors will continue
to search or new capabilities that will provide them with product dierentiation. Tat being
the case, we expect established IC-BPMS providers to initiate a signicant level o acquisition
o specialized rms over the next couple o years. Most o the emerging new eatures in the
IC-BPMS market will relate to improved BPM eatures such as process simulation, automated
process discovery, more sophisticated support or event management related to business event
management (BEM) and complex event processing (CEP), and tighter integration o business
rules capability.
Widespread adoption. BPM support is one o the key deliverables o IC-BPMS products, anda recent Forrester survey revealed that BPM projects have already become mainstream inside
the majority o enterprises.7 Tis same survey also ound that most o the enterprises were in
the early stages o their implementation eorts, but over 80% o the I architects surveyed elt
that the eorts had met or exceeded their expectations. Tis widespread adoption and its earlypositive results will lead to strong product growth going orward as enterprises expand their
internal usage o IC-BPMS solutions and will also lead to vendors increasing eorts to enhance
their existing product capabilities.

IC-BPMS RequIReMenTS OVeRVIeW
o assess the state o the IC-BPMS market and to see how the vendors stack up against each other,
Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses o the top IC-BPMS providers.
W Focsd evaatio Critria O BPM, B2B, eAI, SOA, Ad Appicatio Dvopmt
Aer examining the results o past research, vendor and expert interviews, requests-or-proposals,
and user-needs assessments, we developed a comprehensive set o evaluation criteria to determine
the relative positions o leading IC-BPMS solutions. We evaluated vendors against 106 criteria,
which we grouped into three high-level buckets:
Current oering. o assess product strength, we evaluated our principal categories ocapabilities. Te rst area was integration unctionality that ocuses on overall solution
architecture, application rameworks, security management, transormation, and support or
Web 2.0. In the area o B2B, we evaluated vendor capabilities in the areas o data exchangesupport and trading partner management. We evaluated BPM eatures including process
management, process modeling, process monitoring, and support or human-centric eatures.
And nally, we evaluated SOA eatures including support or ESB eatures, a metadata
management repository, and support or a wide range o Web services.
Strategy. o judge the uture direction o evaluated oerings, we compared each vendors productstrategy including the breadth o its product oerings, the availability and extent o the customer
training it oers, the completeness o its product road map, the extent o its vertical industry
solutions, and the availability and extent o its online community support. We captured solution
cost inormation (and presented this in the Wave model), though we do not score this inormation
due to the variable nature o pricing situations. We also evaluated inormation on adapter licensing
models and soware licensing fexibility. Te extent o strategic alliances was another ocal point,
with consideration given to system integration partnerships, application partnerships, and strength
o reseller channels. Finally, we gave heavy consideration to customer reerences.
Market presence. o gauge market presence, we combined inormation about each vendorsinstalled base and new customers as well as and the size and global ootprint o each vendors
sales and support organizations.
W evaatd Vdors That Ofr Comprhsiv ICBPMS Sotios
Forrester included 10 vendors in its assessment: Cordys Soware, IBM, Microso, Oracle, SAP,Soware AG, Sterling Commerce, Sun Microsystems, IBCO Soware, and Vitria echnology.
BEA Systems was also initially included but had to be dropped, as Oracle reused to support the
evaluation o the BEA product line as a part o this process. Each o these 10 vendors (see Figure 1):

Oers an IC-BPMS product. Each vendor provides either a single comprehensive productor a suite o integrated tools that provides support or EAI, BPM, B2B, SOA, and applications
development. Te individual capabilities in these areas can vary signicantly between vendors.
Provides category leadership. Each o these providers oers leading edge capability in one ormore o the ocused evaluation areas.
Has a long-standing presence in the category.Most o these vendors have been leadingproviders in this space or several years. In act, all o them were included in the previous
product evaluation o this space, published in December 2006.
Our evaluation methodology depends in part on input rom the vendors, including product
demonstrations, questionnaires, and customer reerences. Oracle chose not to provide data or
the BEA WebLogic Integration (WLI) product; thereore, we evaluated this products capabilitiesbased on the results o prior evaluations, subsequent briengs by BEA management, and ongoing
discussions with many BEA WebLogic Integration customers.

Sofware AG. Soware AG acquired webMethods in 2007 and has since augmented webMethodsoriginal oering through the availability o the powerul CentraSite repository product (which
Soware AG and Fujitsu developed jointly). Soware AG received high scores across the board
and provided excellent customer reerences, which have been corroborated through numerous
Forrester discussions with webMethods users over the past two years. Soware AG was alsoranked as a leader in the most recent human-centric BPM product evaluation.
IBM. IBM retained a leadership position in this category based on the comprehensive natureo its BPM product portolio. Te major products in its portolio are WebSphere Dynamic

Fabric, WebSphere Process Server, and WebSphere Business Monitor) and WebSphere Service
Registry and Repository. Over the years, IBM has made several key acquisitions to round out its
BPM capabilities or example, its acquisitions o Webiy and AptSo in an eort to retain a
leadership position in the key soware category.
IBCO Sofware. IBCO is another repeat Leader in this category with its ActiveMatrixproduct suite. In particular, the ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks is a comprehensive and widely
used IC-BPMS product. It is also interesting to note that in our evaluation o human-centric
BPM products, the IBCO iProcess product was ranked among the Leaders or human-centric
BPM product unctionality.8
Vitria echnology. Tis vendor was one o the early mindshare leaders in the IC-BPMS spacein the 2003-to-2005 timerame but suered setbacks aer the dot-com bubble crash. However,
Vitria has returned with a powerul IC-BPMS oering that provides a unique combination o
EAI, BPM, and SOA eatures built on top o a fexible Web 2.0 ramework.
Oracle. Oracle is another repeat in the Leader category due to the comprehensive capabilitieso its SOA Suite product. Trough the acquisition o BEA, Oracle inherited some key products
such as the enterprise service bus and repository. However, these products were not in the
Oracle product lineup as o the May 1, 2008, deadline or this evaluation.
SAP. NetWeaver has moved into the leadership ranks or the rst time in this evaluation basedon several key enhancements that SAP made to NetWeavers SOA capabilities. SAP also
received enhanced strategy scores due to its expanded and comprehensive product road map.
Overall, SAP registered the largest improvement o any o the evaluated vendors in IC-BPMScapability compared with the previous report on products in this category that was published in
December 2006.
Cordys Sofware. For the rst time, Cordys achieved a leadership position based on its strongscores across all o the major unctional areas: EAI, BPM, B2B, and SOA.
Strog Prormrs: Good Sotios For Ma Rirmts
Microsof. Microso Bizalk scored well in the areas o EAI and B2B support but does notprovide comprehensive out-o-the-box support or BPM; it relies on custom development or
established alliance partners or this capability.
Sterling Commerce. Te Gentran Integration Suite (GIS) has strong B2B and integrationeatures, which is not surprising considering this vendors background. However, while the
product has solid process management eatures, the process modeling and monitoring would
benet rom urther enhancement.

Sun Microsystems. Sun dropped out o the Leader category in this evaluation due to lowerscores in the areas o B2B, BPM, and overall product strategy. In particular, its product has
limitations related to service-level monitoring, simulation capabilities, and built-in support or
integrating with popular oce suites that have dragged down its overall BPM scores.
Risk Bts: not Appropriat For Th log Ha
Oracle (BEA WebLogic Integration). Prior to Oracles acquisition o BEA Systems, BEAsIC-BPMS product lineup consisted o three key components: BEA WebLogic Integration (WLI),
BEA AquaLogic Service Bus (ALSB), and the BEA AquaLogic Enterprise Repository (ALER). We
believe that this combination would have easily scored in the Leader category based on our earlier
evaluations and on product briengs with BEA management. However, Oracle renamed ALSB and
ALER and now includes them as core components o the Oracle SOA Suite. WLI is still available
and could still be combined with the renamed Oracle products, but we do not believe that is a wise
course o action, as Oracles stated direction or these products would not support this strategy.

Forrester used a combination o three data sources to assess the strengths and weaknesses o each
solution:
Vendor surveys. Forrester surveyed vendors on their capabilities as they relate to the evaluationcriteria. Once we analyzed the completed vendor surveys, we conducted vendor calls where
necessary to gather details o vendor qualications.
Product demos. We asked vendors to conduct demonstrations o their products unctionality. Weused ndings rom these product demos to validate details o each vendors product capabilities.
Customer reerence calls. o validate product and vendor qualications, Forrester alsoconducted reerence calls with two o each vendors current customers.

We conduct primary research to develop a list o vendors that meet our criteria to be evaluated
in this market. From that initial pool o vendors, we then narrow our nal list. We choose these
vendors based on: 1) product t; 2) customer success; and 3) Forrester client demand. We eliminate
vendors that have limited customer reerences and products that dont t the scope o our evaluation.

Aer examining past research, user need assessments, and vendor and expert interviews, we develop
the initial evaluation criteria. o evaluate the vendors and their products against our set o criteria, we
gather details o product qualications through a combination o lab evaluations, questionnaires,
demos, and/or discussions with client reerences. We send evaluations to the vendors or their review,and we adjust the evaluations to provide the most accurate view o vendor oerings and strategies.
We set deault weightings to refect our analysis o the needs o large user companies and/or
other scenarios as outlined in the Forrester Wave document and then score the vendors based
on a clearly dened scale. Tese deault weightings are intended only as a starting point, and we
encourage readers to adapt the weightings to t their individual needs through the Excel-based
tool. Te nal scores generate the graphical depiction o the market based on current oering,
