All the signs point to the fact that SOA has entered the trough of disillusionment. Why? I am seeing a lot of companies de-funding or stopping SOA efforts altogether. Many executives don't see the hype anymore and thus no longer understand the value of SOA. Many companies have tried SOA and failed, ...

When I first heard about Microsoft Azure, I thought it was yet another feeble attempt by Microsoft to get in on the hype with a subpar product just to get the foot in the door. I have to admit, though, that I was pleasantly surprised. Shockingly, Azure is a robust, well designed cloud platform that ...

In the previous post, I’ve discussed the role of the ESB in the SOA ecosystem. However, I failed to adequately describe what an SOA ecosystem was and what were all the inter-relationships that must exist in order to make it truly effective.

Many articles, discussions, and presentations have been made on how the recent economic downturn affects the companies’ EA and SOA efforts. Some, like Joe McKendrick of ZDNet, believe that slow economy can spell boon for SOA but subprime SOA will suffer. Dave Linthicum published the results of h...

Since the SOA term was coined, many discussions raged on what a service was from a business and technical perspectives. In this article, I offer my views on the topic. There are several categories of services. Many leading SOA vendors and thinkers typically break them down into Business and Utility ...

Many SOA articles, white papers, and vendor documents talk about “service orchestration”. But understanding of the underlying concepts and orchestration best practices remain elusive. A quick Google search will produce a number of articles and links that discuss service orchestration and related...

I continue to see a number of common misconceptions about SOA. There have been a number of articles written about this when SOA was first introduced. They primarily concentrated on dispelling the myths that SOA = Web Services. Current misconceptions run deeper and a lot more general. 1. SOA is Ex...

One of the primary reasons SOA efforts fail in many companies is simply due to inadequate or inappropriate funding models. Costs are typically at the core of every problem and SOA programs are not exempt. We hear horror stories all the time – the initial investment to establish an SOA environmen...
