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.

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

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.
SOA still means "start of authority" to me
That's nothing, in Dutch it's the acronym for sexually transmitted disease... I had never heard of this buzzword meaning either.
I believe posters are recognized by their sig. So I made one.
Soa what?

Some quick examples:
reintermediate bricks-and-clicks partnerships
brand e-business action-items
orchestrate visionary interfaces
Using this tool we can quickly create:
Using SOA we can engineer wireless web services to deliver frictionless communities. It will allow us to optimize out-of-the-box portals and extend our enterprise models. If we monetize viral convergence we can synergize customized relationships and utilize matrix efficient infrastructures. SOA will enable us to reintermediate compelling e-business thus increasing our ROI. Our TCO will be minimied due to the increasing ability to drive magnetic markets.

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.
Fezzik: [to Inigo] You be careful. People in marketing cannot be trusted.

473 enterprise decision makers? How many best-of-breed synergized Libraries of Congress is that?
Small potatoes make the steak look bigger.
I have a feeling this is what the legendary TPS report looks like. But they left off the cover sheet.
May I be the first to say "WTF".
SOA may be something useful. Unfortunately (?), this article does nothing to explain what it is, only that you need it, your business needs it, and if you don't you are going to be left behind all those other companies that allready have it.
I gotta invent me something like this, make it cool, and make a mint flogging it.
However, posting it to slashdot WILL NOT be my preferred manner of drumming up business.

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.
