Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

No single integration solution has been able to solve all enterprise integration requirements; this limitation has led to the need for organizations to implement numerous integration products from multiple vendors. Moving forward, technology convergence and vendor consolidation will drive organizations to rationalize the number of integration vendors and products toward a core set of strategic tools that will provide the majority of the needed functionality. This rationalization will benefit organizations by facilitating the usage of common integration tools that will lower training expenses; enable better support of complex integration products; and provide the opportunity to lower overall license, maintenance, and support fees. At the same time, the need for niche integration tools covering specific requirements will continue for the foreseeable future.
