June 27, 2008Here We Go Again: Progress Buys Mindreef
I don't know if it's ebizQ's doing or what (and by that I mean our Thursday SOA feature article from the 451 Group asking if SOA was primed for more consolidation, which you can read right here), or perhaps it was the podcast I had with Progress Software's Hub Vandervort about two weeks ago, which you can listen to right here, where we dig into SOA, but what I want to know is what happens when one of the biggest complex event processing companies becomes one of the biggest producers of complex events (isn't that sorta like asking, What if every tree falls in the forest and everyone is there? Well, I'm not too sure, but it sure would be well recorded.)
Joe McKendrick has a blog on it right here, and Mindreef has also published a FAQ for their customers. Read that right here, and make sure to check back to ebizQ for more news as it develops.

Hi Peter,
I saw this coming. Most SOA product vendors were busy strengthening there core SOA stack and SOA quality and operations were totally ignored areas. I had in my post predicted that increasing awareness amongst customers would spark another wave on consolidation in SOA vendors. Moreover its becoming a bit challenging for niche players in SOA market and most of the customers go for single vendor investment strategy to reduce the TCO. This would mean that big players may actually look at buying out niche players in the space to augment their capabilties.
Regards,
Varun Dube
