Lustratus predictions for the infrastructure software market in 2011
We all make predictions right? But do we ever return to our predictions and grade ourselves on how accurate we were? Well my Lustratus Research colleague Steve Craggs does that each year with his annual predictions for the infrastructure software market.
In 2011 he looks at likely developments in the following areas…
- Business rules
- Cloud computing
- SOA adoption
- Open source integration
- Appliances
…but not before he looks back at his 2010 predictions and assess whether he was channeling the spirit of Nostradamus or not. Steve’s latest crystal ball gazing can be found on the Lustratus document store here and embedded on the Lustratus REPAMA SlideShare account below.

As is customary at this time of year, my Lustratus Research colleague Steve Craggs has launched his 2010 predictions for the infrastructure software market.
At this time of year many people make predictions for what the year to come will hold, only for them to be long forgotten by the time next year’s predictions come round. Uniquely then perhaps amongst other crystal ball gazers, Steve first grades himself on the predictions he made last year.
So take a look at the Lustratus 2010 infrastructure software market predictions to see how he did.

Standards-based marketing and identical twins – the nemesis of differentiation
At the risk of sounding like I’m repeating myself, once again I’ve just got off the phone from a friend and ex-colleague. This is a different friend and a different conversation to my last blog entry, and this time he was looking to do me a favour rather than picking my brains for free. Which was nice.
Anyway, after a while we got on to the subject of how sales of his organisation’s SOA, ESB and BPM offerings were going. A mixed bag was his response. “Where it’s good it’s very good and where it’s tough it’s very tough” was his view.
My mate is in sales looking after a geographic and industry-focused region for a… Continue reading
