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.
If you haven't tried bullfighter (from the guys at deloitte) and are use word/powerpoint at the office, you'll love it.
According the the bullfighter Index, the article gets:
Bull Composite Index of 5.9 (not horrible)
Bull index of 94 (good)
Average sentence length (good)
Syllables/word (ok).
And the part I love.. the Flesh score.. 36:
Diagnosis: Teetering on the edge of unclear. The overall meaning remains discernible, but it becomes possible to lose oneself in corollary thoughts, which may be worth exploration, but which can also detract from the core point of the written article.
Anyway.. off topic but fun.
