This IDC Forecast Update for 2005-2010 was changed significantly from April's application deployment software forecast, driven by several factors, including:
A significant uptick in growth for the first half of 2006
Stronger momentum for enterprise service bus (ESB) and integration-related software than initially anticipated
Stronger than anticipated momentum for business process management software
A reassessment of growth in legacy application deployment markets
New thinking about the degree of innovation in application deployment platforms, which will result in greater price protection
A change in methodology that significantly increased the amount of Microsoft revenue in 2005 attributed to application server software and a correspondingly strong contribution to growth over the forecast period
The information used in this forecast was derived from the IDC Software Market Forecaster database as of September 26, 2006.
