Here's what similar reports from Gartner and other leading ESB analysts and thought-leaders are finding:
A Forrester Research Inc. report calls ESBs "the leading entry point for SOA," and found 30%+ of all IT execs will increase ESB deployments in 2006. That spike in ESB interest is being fueled by IT's increased willingness to start SOA projects, Forester found. The stats shows SOA/ESB interest is wide-spread. 77% of large enterprises, 51% of medium enterprises and 46% of small enterprises all intend to launch SOA projects in 2006, with most also looking at using ESBs

GartnerGroup says that ESBs will "supersede several types of traditional middleware during 2005 through 2007 because ESBs are better-suited to modern application styles, such as SOA and event-driven architecture (EDA)." …So, if you haven't yet implemented [ESBs], then you're likely to in 2006," Gartner adds.

Gartner analyst Roy Schulte said ESBs [will] replace a hodgepodge of separate, middleware products such as remote procedure calls (RPCs), object request brokers (ORBs), and message-oriented middleware (MOM), and ESBs make maximum use of Web services and Java Message Service (JMS) standards.

eBizQ author David A. Kelly says, "The ESB has become a viable and practical integration alternative for many organizations, and cites 3 reasons: ESB products for complex problems, ESBs can reduce costs for training and support, and ESBs provide CIOs/architects a scale-as-you-grow-architecture.

Bloor Research says ESB software could be the catalyst to bring BPR's '[business process re-engineering] impossible dream to reality -- to align and keep re-aligning IT to changing business processes. Bloor’s senior analyst Peter Williams said in part: “[U]sing ESB architecture, one can re-link processes in any combination, plug in new or replacement business applications... then run the new workflow sequence to implement BPR.”
