BPM: Microsoft Grabs Market Share in Enterprise Middleware Market
The BPM and Enterprise middleware market grew more than 9 percent last year and now represents a $16.1 billion market. Last year’s BPM growth was a healthy improvement over 2009’s results where the market grew at just 2.2 percent. That is the result of a recent report from IDC.
The report identified the following big-brand vendors as the leading providers of software in this category:
- IBM
- Oracle
- Microsoft
Other less-well known players in the BPM market that IDC identified with the criteria of having at least $20 million in annual revenues and growing faster than 35 percent yearly include Accellion, Appian, Crossgate, Cordys, Global 360, InterSystems, Micro Focus, Nintex, Seeburger, YouSendIt, and Workday.
The report shows that while Microsoft is still dwarfed as a player in the Enterprise software market that it is growing at a rate much faster than either IBM or Oracle. Microsoft had a 20 percent growth rate in the BPM and Enterprise middleware software in 2010.
