Ovum Decision Matrix: Selecting a Middleware-as-a-Service Suite for Hybrid Integration, 2017-18

Ovum names Axway a leader in hybrid integration suites for cloud service, API-led, B2B, and mobile app integration in the middleware-as-a-service (MWaaS) market

"Axway has clearly recognized that data is the core currency of digital business engagement models, and that the context of how data is processed, integrated, and subsequently analyzed to derive actionable insights is critical for ensuring close alignment with customer expectations."¹

Middleware is perhaps the hardest-working unsung hero in modern IT, connecting the data, apps, services, devices, people, and businesses that drive the digital economy. In Ovum’s view, “IT leaders are focusing on revamping their enterprise integration strategy, which will invariably involve a hybrid combination of traditional middleware platforms and cloud-based integration services. MWaaS has entered mainstream enterprise adoption and is significantly disrupting the old guard of legacy, heavyweight middleware platforms.”

This Ovum Decision Matrix is the result of a comprehensive MWaaS vendor and market analysis. It lays out hybrid integration options by evaluating each provider’s solution according to its market impact, execution, and technology relative to industry averages and maximum possible scores.
