Survey: SOA Prominent On 2005 budgets

Posted by Hemos on from the bigger-deal-then-it-sounds dept.

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.

    Is it me, or does that article spend a page and lots of big words to basicly say nothing?

    SOA is the latest hype being pitched by vendors who want to sell expensive tools to solve non-existent problems.

    It will find its niche, like web services did, but it's not going to be the next big thing.

    How many times are they going to repackage the same thing and hope that enterprises start begging to throw money at it this time?

    Heard the hype once when it was SOAP. Heard the hype again when it was Web Services. Hearing it again as SOA. It's still the same thing - exposing parts of your business using XML over HTTP. Some will say SOA is about a philosophy, about loose coupling. What nitwits were writing tightly coupled web services? The problem there ISN'T the technology, it's the development philosophy, and products don't fix bad design.

    As opposed to the current model for enterprise software:

    The vendor sells you the app and comes in and sets it up incorrectly. The guy who got the training and all of the manuals gets a better job and leaves. You didn't buy a service agreement, so you don't have the updates that you need. You have to set the clock back to 1998, because its not Y2K. And it only runs on Windows NT, Service pack 2, with constant attention required to keep the log files from overflowing.

    Its a new way of doing something that has been done well since forever but now in XML. So that means it is better and will change the world.
