Market Research Digest 30 Oct 02
CapeClear Software and SoftWired today [9-Oct-02] announced that they are partnering to offer a solution that will enable enterprises to create Web Services-based mobile solutions. The combination of Cape Clear's Web Services technology and Softwired's advanced mobile delivery platform provides a unique infrastructure offering for a new generation of standards-based applications, which can be distributed over various cellular infrastructure supporting the current 2.5G and forthcoming 3G networks. http://www.capeclear.com/news/press_releases/reports/softwired.shtml http://www.softwired-inc.com/pdf/news/capeclear10oct02.pdf Our friends at Softwired have been busy partnering recently - with us, Fiorano and now Cape Clear.
Cape Clear Software, a leading provider of WebServices technology, announced today [01-Oct-02] that it is working with Choreology Ltd, an enterprise software firm that is pioneering business transaction management for application coordination, to deliver full standards-based transactional support for the CapeConnect Web Services Platform, using Choreology's Cohesions 1.0 coordination engine and programming interfaces. Together, these products will enable organizations to develop robust, transactional Web Services-based applications that combine enterprise quality of service with Web Services' ease of use, portability, and interoperability. An early release of the Web Services transactions platform, which conforms to the OASIS Business Transaction Protocol specification, is being demonstrated at the Sibos conference in Geneva this week. A subsequent release will be available for customer use by the end of the year. The full commercial release is also expected to support the proposed WS-Coordination and WS-Transaction specifications that were recently announced by Microsoft, IBM, and BEA. http://www.capeclear.com/news/press_releases/reports/choreology.shtml Web services will become much more useful once they can take part in transactions - this partnership will position Cape Clear in that market.
ChutneyTechnologies, Inc., the pioneer and leader of the Application Optimization market, and Cape Clear Software, a leading provider of Web Services technology, today [14-Oct-02] announced a marketing and technology partnership. Companies can now expect fast and easy deployment of Web Services through a pre-tested and combined solution designed to enhance the development, management, and performance of these critical applications. Chutney's core technology enables the results of programs to be reused, thus eliminating redundant processing, communication, I/O, and formatting operations. These efficiencies reduce user response times by up to 90 percent and amplify transaction rates by three times or more. Furthermore, to provide maximum openness and interoperability, Chutney's software integrates with all of the leading enterprise-class application-development platforms. http://www.capeclear.com/news/press_releases/reports/chutney.shtml ChutneyApptimizer is a cache - the SOAP edition simply caches the results of web services calls.
Corporate IT spending is set to rebound in the second half of 2003, according to a Gartner survey. Chief information officers (CIOs) indicated that they will be tripling their spending in 2003, creating growth of 5.4 per cent. Software and IT services will see most significant improvement in 2003 and 2004, while hardware spending continues to remain flat with no percentage increase.

Given the title, you may think this article was first published a few years ago. But, in fact, it looks at database-driven MQ - specifically, the reasons that companies may choose to move their communication data out of file-based message queuing systems and into database-enabled message queuing systems. By Dieter Gawlick. http://www.eaijournal.com/PDF/Gawlick.pdf Dieter Gawlick is an architect at Oracle, where he has been involved in Oracle Workflow, Message Broker and other related projects. He would say that, then. But of course he makes some valid points.
Oracle Delivers New TopLink Release
10/25/02, 8:30 a.m. EDT--OracleCorp has released Oracle9i Application Server TopLink, a solution for developing enterprise Java applications with relational databases. Oracle acquired TopLink in June, and the TopLink technology is now available as a built-in feature of Oracle9i Application Server and as a separate, licensable component for use with all J2EE-compliant application servers, Oracle and non-Oracle databases and Java development tools. TopLink is an infrastructure-based solution for Java object-relational mapping designed to simplify the integration of Java objects to JDBC-compliant databases. The latest release provides a set of performance optimization and scalability features, including caching technology to minimize database and network traffic. TopLink continues to provide support for non-Oracle databases, application servers and development tools and offers ongoing support for existing TopLink customers. http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/toplink/content.html I'm still trying to find out whether this is the original Toplink cache, or if they've used OCS4J; latest thinking is they haven't used OCS4J yet
Following on from the acquisition of eXcelon (and its ObjectDesign division) we hear that eXcelon European operation will be used to enhance Sonic's weak EMEA sales team. The database maintenance revenue will go into Progress, but both object and XML databases will be folded into Sonic - a persistent caching competitor (based on Javlin) seems on the cards.
Systinet gives its WASP more sting via ISVs, OEMs
Systinet, the leading independent provider of Web services infrastructure software, today [15-Oct-02] announced a strategic OEM initiative which includes products and services designed to make it easy for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to benefit from Web services technology. As part of this initiative, Systinet announced a new version of its WASP Web services product suite, WASP OEM Edition. Leading software companies such as Interwoven and Mercator have chosen Systinet WASP to power Web services within their own products because WASP is platform independent, easy to embed, and can be quickly branded and customized. Web services provide significant competitive advantages for OEMs and ISVs by making their products far easier to integrate, more flexible, and more cost effective to deploy and manage. http://www.systinet.com/news/latest_news/article&id_ele=24 http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid26_gci859639,00.html Systinet competes with Cape Clear, TheMindElectric and others in the web services/integration segment.

Vitria today [28-Oct-02] introduced BusinessWare® 4, the next generation of its industry-leading business process integration platform. BusinessWare 4 fundamentally changes the value integration brings to business -- simplifying integration, speeding implementation, lowering costs, improving ease of use and enabling overall business process "agility."

It's been a busy week for results, here are some. This cluster of EAI results from Ascential, Mercator, SeeBeyond, Vitria and webMethods shows the market down by 6% since last year, but wide differences in individual results, ranging from SeeBeyond's 17% drop to webMethods' 13% increase. ---++Attunity Announces 2002 Third Quarter Results
