Review Service-Oriented Integration Report: Using Web Services and XML to Integrate Systems / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Service-Oriented Integration (SOI) simplifies system integration by providing a single, simple architectural framework based on Web Services in which to build, deploy, and manage application functionality. The SOI market is expected to grow from $435 million in 2001 to about $6. 2 billion in 2006. The top three EAI vendors have over 43% of the overall EAI market. With the entrance of Microsoft and other vendors in 2002, this landscape is expected to change. Web Services isn't an integration technology, but a distributed computing technology that lends itself well to being used in integration scenarios. In a Web Services context, there really is no difference between EAI, B2Bi, and Data Integration. SOI solutions allow users to get a greater level of interaction and granularity with components deep within the application. SOI faces challenges in immature specifications, insufficient reliability, security, and transaction control. Microsoft and IBM have made strong entries into this space that will be a challenge for other providers of SOI solutions. [+]The potential ROI realized by adopting Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) far outweighs the slight benefits an organization gets from using Web Services as simply a "better API" for accessing application functionality. Integrating systems between two businesses is not only a technological problem; it requires pre-existing business relationships between the companies. Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review XML Data Storage Technologies and Trends Report: Native XML Data Stores (NXDs) and XML Extensions to RDBMS / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: XML content needs to be stored in a manner that it can be searched and retrieved back in XML format. This seemingly simple requirement has profound impact for existing data storage technologies. Expenditure on XML Storage solutions will grow from $75 million in 2000 to over $4. 1 Billion (US) in 2005 XML-enabled RDBMS vendors consumed only 15% of that market in 2000, but will consume over 65% of the total expenditure by 2005. Native XML Data Store (NXD) vendors will realize around $1. 6 Billion in revenue by 2005 The primary methods in use today for storing XML documents include XML-enabled (or extended) relational databases, NXDs, Content Management stores, and file systems. NXDs will increasingly become a solution of choice for storage of document-oriented XML content as well as Web Services, B2B messaging, and other transactional formats. RDBMS vendors will continue to add XML support to their systems to provide users a way to leverage their existing storage assets. XML Query standards will mature over the next 6-12 months. The integration and use of Web Services within XML data store vendors will determine the future of XML-enabled RDBMS vendors and NXD providers. [+]Companies should base their storage architecture decisions on the amount of XML they are producing and the extensibility of that data. Relational and XML data differ in many, significant ways. The implication is that these two, very different data types may require two, very different storage solutions. Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review Service-Oriented Process Report: Meeting the Requirements of Business Agility through SOA-Based Business Process / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Service-Oriented Process is Key to Meeting Business Agility Requirements Service-oriented process includes orchestration, choreography, composition, workflow, transactions, and collaboration of Web Services. The market for Service-Oriented Process solutions will grow from $120 Million in 2003 to over $8. 3 Billion by 2008. The standards landscape will converge on a single choreography, orchestration, and process flow specification in the next 12-18 months. By 2005, over 70% of Web Services implementations will be process-driven. Services must be developed devoid of process in order that they can participate in an SOA that meets the goals of business agility Service-Oriented Management techniques can assist in managing discrete services as well as end-to-end business processes.

Review XML Proxies Report: XML-Aware Network Appliances and Firewalls / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: XML Proxies are hardware or software solutions that actively listen for XML traffic on the network and either pass it along unmodified or perform some action on the XML content. XML Proxies can operate transparently as an XML "gateway" or as auxiliary applications on the network. ZapThink estimates that XML represents less than 2% of all traffic on the enterprise network in 2002; however, this percentage is expected to increase to almost 25% of all LAN network traffic by 2006. Current firewall and proxy solutions are inadequate to handle XML traffic. Instead of being simply network protocol-aware, XML Proxies are XML-aware. XML Proxies are capable of examining traffic at the content level, and can optionally handle other message types such as HTML or EDI. XML Proxies will converge on a single set of functionality for handling corporate-wide XML security, management, routing, transformation, and performance enhancement. As XML Proxy solutions become increasingly visible in the corporate IT environment, "established" Network Appliance vendors will enter the market. XML Proxies can also allow users to implement XML and Web Services solutions without having to constantly modify those applications to comply with various corporate XML policies. The increasing need to gain more value out of the XML documents and traffic on the network will drive adoption of XML Proxy solutions. [+]Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review Service-Oriented Architecture Consulting Report: Facilitating the Service-Oriented Enterprise / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Today’s professional services firms are struggling to find their long-term value proposition in environments that are in constant change. There is a significant opportunity for PSOs in the short-term for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. As Service-oriented process tools mature, system integration will no longer be a separate activity, but will be subsumed into the process orchestration and choreography activities within the Service-oriented process tools. The business process design, optimization, and execution consulting market will come to displace the system integration market. System integrators will find the low-level integration work diminishing as their customers adopt SOAs, and therefore will need to transition their skills to the Service-oriented process arena to avoid having their market erode substantially. There is a significant opportunity for consulting firms in the next five years for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. Total SOA architectural and process consulting revenues will surpass those from system integration by 2006. System integration revenue by professional services organizations will decrease by over 70% by 2010, while Service-Oriented Business Process consulting will increase 20-fold in the same time period.
