"This market has changed dramatically over the past 14 years, and we feel that has increasingly played to IBM's advantage given our technical expertise, investments and restless reinvention," said Marie Wieck, GM, IBM Middleware. "With the emergence of hybrid cloud, mobile, Internet of Things, and analytics – IT leaders are realising that success starts with having an open platform built for digital transformation and future workloads, yet delivering value today."
According to the Gartner report Market Share: All Software Markets, Worldwide, 2014*, the worldwide application infrastructure and middleware software market grew 8.8% to US$23.8 billion, and IBM leads in nine of the 12 application infrastructure and middleware markets.
Within the application infrastructure and middleware portfolio, IBM was once again ranked no. 1 in business process management suite (BPMS) software with 28.5% share, nearly three times that of its closest competitor. BPMS software helps improve business growth and agility, including enabling employees to work together using mobile technology. IBM held its number one position in mobile application development software with 15.2% share and growing six points faster than the market.
IBM was also ranked the no. 1 in application development for the 13th consecutive year, which IBM believes is a result of a continued focus on helping clients leverage application development and delivery towards achieving better business outcomes with data, cloud and mobile technologies. As software has become a major driver of innovation, IBM has helped developers use new approaches like DevOps that apply lean and agile principles across the development life cycle to speed delivery and improve customer responsiveness.
Gartner also ranked IBM no. 1 in other segments such as message oriented middleware, a key enabler for mobile computing, with 75% share, more than 10 times its closest competitor. IBM also leads transaction processing middleware, which supports mobile and cloud-based commerce, with 85% share, and no. 1 in enterprise service bus suites with 29% share. It also tops the managed File Transfer Suites category with 31.3% share.

IBM believes this leadership is a result of the company's technology breakthroughs in WebSphere, IBM MQ, and business process management solutions. Based on IBM client feedback, there is a demand for organisations to bring big data, mobile, cloud and social computing technologies into core enterprise software systems.
