Industry
Competition
The market for our products and services is extremely competitive and subject to rapid change. In addition, we compete with various providers of single components of application integration solutions, including IBM, New Era of Networks, Iona and BEA with respect to messaging components and Vitria, CrossWorlds, STC and Active Software with respect to other components. We believe that of these companies, IBM has the potential to offer the most complete set of products for application integration. We also face competition for certain aspects of our product and service offerings from major systems integrators. We expect additional competition from other established and emerging companies. In addition, we may face pricing pressures from our current competitors and new market entrants in the future. We believe that the competitive factors affecting the market for our products and services include product functionality and features; quality of professional services offerings; product quality, performance and price; ease of product implementation; quality of customer support services; customer training and documentation; and vendor and product reputation. The relative importance of each of these factors depends upon the specific customer environment. Although we believe that our products and services currently compete favorably with respect to such factors, we may not be able to maintain our competitive position against current and potential competitors.
