IBM dominates SOA market

The company was the only vendor achieving a double digit market share. Microsoft ranked second with 7 per cent. Other vendors including BEA, Tibco and Sun Microsystems' Seebeyond each logged in at 2 to 3 per cent.
Susan Eustis, president of the research firm, attributed IBM's lead to the bread of its middleware portfolio and the fact that all its products have an SOA engine baked in natively. Many competing products currently use adapters that slap on SOA functionality to their exiting middleware, Eustis told vnunet.com
The vendor at the Impact 2007 conference boasted that is has had 4500 SOA 'engagements', where one customer can count for multiple engagements. That means indicates that worldwide fewer than 9,000 companies are currently using SOAs.
