Accelerating COTS Middleware Acquisition: The i-Mate Process

Abstract

Most major organizations now use some commercial-off-the-shelf middleware components to run their businesses. Key drivers behind this growth include ever-increasing Internet usage and the ongoing need to integrate heterogeneous legacy systems to streamline business processes. As organizations do more business online, they need scalable, high-performance software infrastructures tohandle transactions and provide access to core systems.
