against each other, Forrester evaluated the strengths and weaknesses of top EMEA SOA systems integrators.

processes and have very satisfied clients in EMEA, which has shot them to the top of the pack (with one other
vendor)."

made some deep investments in tools and accelerators for taking much of the pain out of SOA integration
projects."

it will further its position as a leading provider of SOA systems integration services. If you are looking for a
