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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    I have a feeling this is what the legendary TPS report looks like. But they left off the cover sheet.
