Abstract

This IDC study provides a breakdown of the 2018 worldwide data exchange aggregate software market by vendor revenue shares and delivers insight into the market condition. This aggregate market is made up of the business-to-business integration middleware and managed file transfer software functional markets as defined by IDC.

"The business-to-business integration middleware and managed file transfer software grew slower in 2018 than forecast, but it was also a year of investment for the future," says Stewart Bond, research director, Data Integration and Integrity Software research at IDC. "Investments were made in diversifying integration capabilities via acquisition, re-factoring capabilities into hybrid cloud–friendly containerized microservices, and we saw the beginnings of connectivity with shared ledger technologies emerging in the market, establishing new foundations for data exchange."
