Bangalore, Dec. 3 IBM has been ranked number 1 in the application deployment software market in the country by IDC.

According to IDC Packaged Software Tracker 2006, IBM WebSphere’s (an application software) market share in India stood at 28 per cent.

The domestic market for the WebSphere technology grew significantly due to increased globalisation and integration activities that drove the deployment of Web-enabled applications, said a press release.

According to Mr Praveen Sengar, Manager-Software & Services Research, IDC India, “Most organisations today depend on technology driven innovations to ensure sustained competitive advantage. Given this, software implementation that brings in flexibility and faster integration becomes imperative. More so, in emerging markets like India where competition is becoming intense and organisations are increasingly scaling up operations, application deployment software as a category is expected to grow at a year-on-year rate of 27 per cent (2007 over 2006).”

IBM has bagged significant customers in the previous financial year and has seen maximum traction in the telecom and banking sectors in WebSphere adoption, with customers such as State Bank of India, Max Newyork Life, HDFC, Tata Sky and BSNL.
