Q: Are established companies doing this sort of thing?
A: Yes, but the little guys have a head start. Perhaps the best-known of these companies is Salesforce.com. Founded just five years ago, it snuck up on the big software companies by offering a Web-service version of software for managing customer relationships. Thanks to a successful initial public offering and annual sales starting to approach $200 million, San Francisco-based Salesforce is the best-known of the bunch.
But plenty of others are in the mix, ranging from NetSuite, which like Salesforce was founded by a protégé of Oracle CEO Larry Ellison's, to RightNow, a Montana company that also had a successful IPO last year. Small companies like Oblix are trying to handle tricky Web-services security issues, and a company called Grand Central even plans to be a sort of big virtual train station, making sure all these Web services connect to each other.

我的理解
In the mix 肯定是‘混在其中’, 问题是混在the little guys其中, 还是混在(snuck up on the big software companies)其中.
我的理解是不止Salesforce.com还有很多小公司(plenty of others)也(in the mix)混在抢市场的行列中. 而且下文还描述一些小公司的手法!
所以: (in the mix) = 混在抢市场的行列中? 加入混战? 加入斗争行列? 在混水摸鱼?
