This IDC study provides a sizing of the data integration and access software market in 2011 and a 2012–2016 forecast for this market, broken out by geographic region and operating environment, along with key drivers and commentary.

"Despite the need for timely data, culled from many quarters for effective application integration and timely business intelligence, most enterprise data remains as fragmented as ever, creating fertile ground for the data integration and access software market," says Carl Olofson, research vice president for Database Management and Data Integration Software research at IDC. "Most of this market's growth will be seen in strategic EIM initiatives and in cloud-based data integration."
