« UPDATE: Does Open Source Software (OSS) "scale" as a business model | Main | Red Hat Open Source Software Takes Oracle, IBM, TIBCO Straight On »

Attention all open source software (OSS) enterprise application integration (EAI) and business process management (BPM) middleware organizations:

I am researching the next in a series of open-source-software (OSS)-related articles on applications and mid-stack software for ebizQ.

Previous reports have covered ESBs. application and web servers, and business intelligence software.

My next report will focus on OSS integration server and BPM software offerings, including software as a service (SaaS) offerings. Maybe you just call your project/product an integration server; that probably qualifies also since that is how most BPM and EAI middleware is built. If you want to discuss, drop me an email at dennis@ebizq.net.

The ebizQ article on OSS EAI and BPM middleware is tentatively scheduled for release on ebizQ.net in January 2008.

If you would like to formally participate in my data collection, please download and complete the 1-page survey form (see "Download File" below) and return to dennis@ebizq.net by Friday December 14.

Note that as the survey indicates, EAI and BPM middlewae software products will be covered in the report if they use OSS (e.g., bundle in an OSS application server product such as Geronimo) even if they are not “sold” as OSS themselves and no matter how they are monetized.
