Total
The purpose of the Web Services Derby project was to better understand how the technology will change the enterprise software industry.
The study consisted of 117 in-depth, confidential interviews with executives from 76 organizations. The interview gathered both quantitative and qualitative information and took place in April and May 2002. These interviews resulted in more than 150 hours of conversation and 1,200 pages of transcripts, the synthesis of which lie in the pages to follow.
Methodology
Study Participants: The Most Influential Web Services Decision Makers
The first group of interviews were conducted with large corporate customers. These executives are mainly CIOs, VPs and managers of IT at global 2000 companies. Nearly all the participating corporations have more than $1 billion in revenue, with half generating more than $10 billion.
Participants from all major industries were represented: automotive, consumer packaged goods, high technology, manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, financial services and many others.
Enterprise software executives made up the second group of interviewees. Job titles of these participants include CTO, VP of engineering and development, VP of product management, chief architect and managing partner.
These interviewees represent a cross-section of leading vendors in four overall categories: application vendors, EAI vendors, platform vendors and systems integrators.
Interviewees were assured of the confidentiality surrounding their responses and therefore the identities of individual interviewees cannot be revealed.
The respondents were not scientifically selected and therefore are not necessarily representative of any larger enterprise or vendor population. However, the industry interviews amounted to a census of leading enterprise software vendors and systems integrators. And the technologists interviewed represent an impressive cross-section of Global 2000 companies. Therefore, the results represent a unique compilation of the current state of Web Services technology and are appropriate for directional insight during development of products, marketing plans and corporate strategy.
