And that may be true, in part. \u00a0But we are finding an assortment of root causes involving changes in preferences for products, pricing models and timing of purchases.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While the numbers may disappoint, BPM is still growing, just not as robustly as it has in the past. \u00a0The results for 2012 underperformed the results of the previous two years. \u00a0The BPM and middleware market, as measured by IDC, grew just 3.6 percent in 2012 to $18.8 billion.<\/p>\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\">\n<div id=\"_mcePaste\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div
