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. [+]

Review XML in the Content Lifecycle Report: Creating, Managing, Publishing, Syndicating, and Protecting Content with XML / ZapThink, LLC:

Key Findings: The market for XML content lifecycle solutions is expected to grow from $1. 8 Billion in 2003 to over $11. 6 Billion by 2008. Producers of content in the enterprise spend over 60% of their time locating, formatting, and structuring content and just 40% of their time actually creating it. By 2008, about 60% of all content lifecycle products will be XML-enabled. the primary challenge in the enterprise for producers of content - information that is intended for human consumption - is content reuse: the ability to integrate content from disparate sources. Efforts to improve content processes have been slowed by efforts to extract and manipulate content from multiple, disparate data sources. Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review Service-Oriented Management Report: How Web Services Management is the Key to the Service-Oriented Architecture / ZapThink, LLC:

Key Findings: Web Services management (WSM) software is software that helps companies manage the systems and applications that underlie their Web Services. Service-oriented management (SOM) software is software that supports the development and execution of a Service-oriented architecture. By 2007, 60% of the total system management market will consist of large vendors who offer SOM solutions, and a full 75% of the system management market (both small and large vendors) will be SOM-enabled. The market for Service-Oriented Management is expected to grow from $30 million in 2002 to $9. 2 Billion by 2007. Web Services Management solutions bridge the gap between the underlying systems and the Services that run on top of them. Starting in mid-2004, the large system management vendors will begin to dominate the SOM space, to the extent that the SOM point solutions segment of the market will reach its maximum in 2005.

Review Testing Web Services Report / ZapThink, LLC:

Key Findings: Web Services promise to fundamentally change the distributed computing landscape. This new landscape will present new testing scenarios and problems that companies using Web Services don't currently understand. Today’s enterprises that are dabbling in Web Services aren’t inquiring about or requesting testing solutions. The whole concept of a software development lifecycle will fall by the wayside as companies realize the advantages of orchestrating loosely coupled Services into coarse-grained business Services. As enterprises follow the Web Services model and move from phase one (through 2003) to phase three (2005 and beyond) many testing issues will arise that the current simplistic approach to Web Services testing will not cover. During phase one of Web Services adoption, Web Services are mainly just software components with SOAP interfaces. The dynamic, "publish, find, and bind" capabilities of Web Services characterize phase two of the adoption of Service-oriented architectures. In phase three, taking an agile approach to testing will make the most sense. Vendors of Testing tools do not see Web Services as heralding an emerging market per se; rather, they generally see Web Services as a relatively small evolutionary step in the development of software components. Test-first development will be a primary driver for Web Services testing. [+]
Test-first development, where developers assist in the creation of automated test plans before a line of code is written, has been proven repeatedly to lead to better code, written faster, that meets the needs of stakeholders better.

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 Counterfeit Software Is Counterproductive:

If there is one issue upon which all software vendors are in total accord—and it may be the only issue—it is the damage wrought by consumers and corporations that knowingly or unwittingly use counterfeit software. The headlines invariably and almost exclusively focus on the issue of counterfeit software from the vendors’ perspective: legitimate revenue lost because of illegal software. Stories also abound of lurid punishments that range from true-up costs, fines and even criminal prosecution and jail time that potentially await end-user perpetrators when and if they get caught.

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 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.
