3 Mission Critical Messaging Middleware Market Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2003 to 2008 Mission critical messaging middleware (MOM) core cross platform software has become central to transaction transport and network integration. Middleware messaging is positioned to provide cross platform transport of transactions. Mission critical packaged software hides transport and API complexity from the IT manager. Mission critical messaging and application integration middleware depend on systems managers to achieve visualization of messages and control of the systems. A significant benefit of mission critical middleware messaging is in the area of open connectivity. The best middleware products provide a consistent mechanism by which a wide variety of types of system can be connected together. Mission critical messaging provides access to cross platform applications and a transport mechanism that is secure Connecting platforms provides the enterprise with the ability to make applications work together. Mission-critical means having a professional resources organization dedicated to the success of the enterprise. To improve operational efficiency, heterogeneous applications and their users need to access the same and most up-to-date data. Companies are relying on application integration messaging technologies to ensure that system information and updates are delivered across applications in real time. The middleware computing paradigm is leading to global installation of the networking equipment to support connectivity within and across organizations. Broadband communications pathways are being put in place. Applications need to operate in unpredictable and heterogeneous wide area networks, including the Internet. Middleware messaging provides a robust, comprehensive software infrastructure. The worldwide middleware messaging market at $415 million in 2002 is expected to reach $822 million by 2006 The market will increase over the forecast period as new systems are designed to support mission critical transport of integration modules. Mission critical messaging system management accounted for 63% of the markets in EAI broker system management accounted for 37%. By 2008, the percentages shift.
