Market research firm Forrester Research recently published an article written by analyst Randy Heffner, entitled "SOA is far from dead, however, it should be buried," the study report.However, the misleading title of the report.
SOA expert Dave Linthicum said that this report is not much we do not know.However, this report reflects some of the new figures SOA vendors every year from now to 2013 development.
The fact is that SOA alive and well.The data show that most enterprises use SOA.In Forrester implementation of the "fourth quarter of 2008, North American and European small and medium software enterprises and large-scale survey", 75% of the surveyed organizations in Global 2000 IT officials and technology decision makers said their agencies will use the SOA.
Linthicum said, as we pointed out here many times, SOA is not a product or a set of standards.SOA is an architectural approach to system is the method of your application IT infrastructure.SOA in the IT industry has been popular for many years.Therefore, I found no impact of SOA, the current structure is not done any.This includes cloud computing.Cloud computing architecture is but an extension beyond the firewall extends to the cloud provider.
The report said that in all of our survey of current SOA users, 60% of respondents said they are expanding their SOA applications.Linthicum said, I found that using SOA methods, techniques and technology companies generally considered a good framework for SOA, although the core of the SOA approach is the core of the architecture.SOA may have been in the past five years from the hype, the farce becomes a more realistic performance or practical reality.
SOA users in our survey, 22% of the SOA applied to more than 25% of their solution delivery project, 43% of users to apply SOA to their 10% to 24% of the project.
Nearly 30% of current SOA users reported that they used SOA "strategic business transformation," in, and that only after you understand how to properly use the time to see the SOA strategic business impact of SOA.
This research study reports and other core seems to be found the same thing, that SOA is starting to become a part of IT.SOA to the core architecture will be extended in the next few years is basically a natural growth.SOA is something you have to do, or is a best practice.
Linthicum said, corporate IT departments just beginning to understand the reality surrounding SOA.It is hard to do, and need some time to do it right.This small tactical victory in the battle or the structure will become even greater victory in the war.I think that within five years we will become better.Forrester Research's report will reflect this.
