Ritesh, this post is over two years old, which makes the Forrester waves even older than that. You may want to check the update Forrester reports for information on Skelta.

[...] I can’t recall if we were talking about BPMS or BRMS vendors here, so I’ll try to cover both. To hit the major vendors, take a look at which ones are included in the reports by the big analysts. Gartner includes the following BPMS vendors in its Magic Quadrant for BPMS, published in December 2007: Adobe, Appian, Ascentn, AuraPortal, BEA, Captaris, EMC, Fujitsu, Global 360, IBM, Intalio, Lombardi, Metastorm, Microgen, Oracle, Pegasystems, Savvion, Singularity, Software AG, SunGard, TIBCO and Ultimus. Forrester splits up the market into four categories with several vendors in each, which I’ve listed in a previous post. [...]

Agree with your point conceptually about how platform should not matter if you’re product is built on an SOA like most of the vendors listed are. However, the market realities (from a vendor’s perspective) are that there remain a large contingent of companies that choose on platform or rule you out based on platform. We still see it in at least 1/3 to 1/2 of the RFPs that we get roped into.

Troy, I’m with you on preferring Gartner’s MQ over the Forrester over-segmented reports. However, Gartner’s model could be greatly improved by some interactive filtering, if it were converted to an online report rather than a static PDF/paper. Imagine that you could filter the MQ by any number of factors, such as platform or the presence of a specific functionality.

Clearly, Forrester’s segmentation of the market is an attempt to differentiate from Gartner. The question is whether or not it is helpful to anyone.

I’m sure many smaller or less sophisticated organizations welcome the simplification offered by Forrester’s Wave. And while my Fortune500 business partners are not concerned with technology platforms or EA or SOA or EDM, per se, I’m sure there are a lot of smaller companies wading into this space where business people are not only plugged-in to platform decisions, but clearly understand and drive them.

This said, personally, I prefer Gartner’s MQ.
