Service-Oriented Architecture: Strategies and Implementation

by Tom Welsh

This is the second of four Executive Updates in which I shall be analyzing the results of a recent Cutter Consortium survey on service-oriented architecture (SOA). While examining current views about the value, risks, and implementation of SOA, I shall also take the opportunity to compare this year's results with those of a very similar Cutter survey carried out in early 2004.1 In the feverish atmosphere of hype and exaggeration that so often surrounds the latest developments in technology, it is all too easy to lose our sense of historical context. Sometimes, there is much to be gained by standing back a little and establishing what has (and has not) changed in the intervening years.
