Description

Introduction:
Many large companies chose, due to budget constraints, to have their internal tech departments perform point-to-point integration solutions to ‘get them through the year’. In the majority of cases, these approaches are more ‘band-aid’ solutions that generally do not scale with the needs of the company and are at best temporary accommodations.

Scope:
* Gain an understanding of the fortunes of the traditional ‘pure-play’ integrations vendors to date - Tibco, webMethods, SeeBeyond, Mercator and Vitria

* Details the opportunities available in the European enterprise integration market by geography and vertical market

* Financial performance, technology solution offering, customers and partnerships are investigated to provide detailed and complete vendor positioning.

* Datamonitor provides independent opinion on the each of the five vendors and concludes with European competitive positioning, via revenue analysis

Report Highlights:
The UK and Germany will continue to be key regions of focus for integration, but they will only grow at CAGR’s of 5% and 7% respectively. Financial services and manufacturing sectors will drive this sustained growth. By 2005, France will see $225 million worth of EI spend.

Currently, Tibco is the number one integration vendor in the European region in terms of license revenues. Tibco’s total license revenues for 2002 were approximately $58.7m, which is more than double its closest competitor, webMethods. However, that figure represents a decline of almost 40% on the prior year.

Ultimately, Datamonitor believes that the ‘pure-play’ integration market is going to become a three horse race, with Tibco, webMethods and SeeBeyond fighting for domination. The remaining vendors, Mercator and Vitria take 4th and 5th place respectively. Datamonitor is concerned about their viability in the long term.

Reasons to Purchase:
* Find out the key European geographical regions and vertical sectors that will drive integration spend in the short-to medium-term

* Understand the relative merits, strengths and weaknesses of Tibco, webMethods, SeeBeyond, Mercator and Vitria.

* Discover who Datamonitor thinks will win the battle for European supremacy. Will Mercator and Vitria survive or will they disappear or be acquired?
