Survey: SOA Prominent On 2005 budgets

Michael S. Mimoso writes "A Yankee Group survey of 473 enterprise decision makers reveals that companies have put aside money for service-oriented architectures for 2005." This is a bigger deal than it sounds - if companies keep moving this away, it will mean a sea change in corporate technology usage - and change the way/why development is done. We're talking everything from SOAP stuff (ITMJ is part of OSTG) to wholesale ASP adoption like Salesforce.com.

    A Yankee Group survey of 473 enterprise decision makers reveals that companies have put aside money for service-oriented architectures for 2005." This is a bigger deal then it sounds.

    Why does it have to be a bigger deal before it sounds? Why does a service contract have to make any sound? Can't that step be taken out entirely? It seems to me that companies can save money that way.

      That's nothing, in Dutch it's the acronym for sexually transmitted disease... I had never heard of this buzzword meaning either.

    That is one of the most jargon and/or marketing-speak filled story descriptions that I have ever read on /. I have absolutely no desire to waste my time looking up those acronyms in order to see if I _might_ want to RTFA.

    Thanks for the great submission.

    Inigo: [looking confused] You keep using acronyms I do not think they mean what you think they mean...[looking back down] my god...his whole article is like that.

    Vizzini: Whoever he is, he's obviously seen us with the slashdot factor and therefore thinks his webserver must die. You [to Fezzik] read the article. We'll [to Inigo] head straight for the first posts. Catch up when it's meta-moderated. If his webserver fails, fine; if not, the use the wiki.

    Inigo: I'm going to do him in with bug-me-not.

    Vizzini: You know what a hurry we're in!

    Inigo: Well, it is the only way I my anominity can be satisfied. If I use my right name, the spam will come too quickly.

    Vizzini: Oh have it your way.

    Maybe if they did a little more of the Yankee thing and a little less of the Group thing, they wouldn't catch any SOAs.

    Widespread adoption of SOAP by developers would make a difference.

    Particularly for the guys riding with them on the bus.
