IBM, TIBCO, WebMethods (Software AG) are examples of enterprise integration solutions that have extensive background and experience in the integration market with their ability to scale performance and functionality in complex, heterogeneous environments. These products provide comprehensive features and functionality and so require extensive training to use effectively.
Other solutions in this category are SeeBeyond (acquired by Sun Microsystems and now Oracle), SAP and Vitria Technology. Most of these products started out as Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) solutions, grew into Integration Suites and now are moving into the Integration-Centric Business Process Management (BPM) space.
Sterling Commerce Gentran Integration Suite and GXS are other products that fall in this category although they started off as a Business to Business (B2B) integration products focused on supply chain and partner integration and still remain best suited for those situations.
Considering the cost and the effort required in implementing these solutions, they are typically best suited for large, complex, enterprise-wide process and application integration scenarios in Fortune 1000 organizations.
