Platform Evolution and 'Dublin'
Mapped a couple of vendors on to a general platform evolution time line. Process column refers to process execution capabilities, not BPM.
A few weeks ago Microsoft announced 'Dublin', a distributed host for WF/WCF based applications. 'Dublin' is an integrated environment within Windows Server, just like Internet Information Services, COM+, and Windows Sharepoint Services. BizTalk will now be positioned as Microsoft's answer to IBM's, Oracle's and BEA's integration suites. 'Dublin' takes a step up on the platform evolution and aligns to products like WebSphere Process Server, leveraging Workflow Foundation.
The only remaining question now would be - what will be the real product name?
