WSO2 Cited as a Strong Performer in “Hybrid Integration for Enterprises, Q4 2016” Report by Independent Research Firm

Mountain View, CA, Nov. 21, 2016 --

WSO2 today announced that it has been cited by Forrester Research, Inc., as a strong performer in The Forrester Wave^TM: Hybrid Integration for Enterprises, Q4 2016 report¹ published November 18, 2016. The report’s findings were based on a 24-criteria evaluation of the 11 software vendors Forrester has identified as the most significant providers of hybrid integration solutions for enterprises that help enterprise architecture (EA) professionals make the right choice. The report can be downloaded by Forrester clients or purchased here.

The Forrester report² observes, “Enterprise service bus (ESB), enterprise application integration (EAI), and service-oriented architecture (SOA) have been the main pillars of firms’ integration strategies.” The report³ goes on to note, “But the integration landscape has changed from solely on-premises, with integration points being slow-changing, to a
much more varied landscape that includes cloud for systems of engagement and systems of insight—as well as the expectation that as these ‘systems of x’ rapidly change, the integration interfaces will also rapidly change. EA pros are now rethinking their integration strategies, and more often they are seeking to replace the mainstays of ESB, EAI, and SOA with more complete tools to address this more complex landscape.”

Report’s Evaluation of WSO2 Integration Platform
The Forrester Wave^TM: Hybrid Integration for Enterprises, Q4 2016 evaluation of WSO2 was based on the WSO2 integration platform; it states⁴, “WSO2 provides one of three remaining open source solutions for hybrid integration.” The report also observes, “The company built its reputation in integration—thanks to an enterprise-class ESB that handles billions of transactions. The same code runs in any deployment mode: in on-premises, cloud, or hybrid models.” Additionally, the report⁵ notes, “WSO2 plans to continue enhancing the architecture to become container-native in early 2017; it also plans to enhance its process, DevOps, and IoT capabilities.”

“As more enterprises drive innovation through cloud, mobile and IoT applications, they face new challenges in conquering integration complexity while ensuring high availability and performance,” said Sanjiva Weerawarana, WSO2 founder, CEO and chief architect. “We are excited to be identified by Forrester as a strong performer in its Hybrid Integration for Enterprises Wave report. We view this as a validation that we are delivering on our mission to offer a complete solution that addresses the integration demands of enterprises.”
