Scorecard Summary: IBM WebSphere Software Platform
Key findings From Forrester's Application Server Platforms TechRankings
This is the second document in the "2004 Application Server Platforms" series.
with Tamara Mendelsohn
Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)
IBM seems to have it all in the application platform market: a leading Java application server, thousands of large corporate customers, and enormous resources. But the vendor lacks one very important asset: a unified application server platform. IBM's platform comprises two different products: WebSphere Business Integrator Server Foundation and WebSphere Portal, which customers must integrate manually to create a single platform for composite applications. This integration adds cost and complexity compared with the platforms from BEA and Oracle, and it is IBM's biggest weakness in our evaluation. IBM's strong suit is its development tools suite, which is comprehensive and has strong team development features.
