The State of SOA Today

by Andrew Schwarz

This Executive Report by Andrew Schwarz analyzes the state of service-oriented architecture (SOA) today based on data from a recent survey of 97 global firms; this survey updates a 2006 Cutter survey on a similar topic. Based upon the results, I examine the adoption of SOA and propose an SOA governance framework and corresponding SOA governance matrix to enable firms to begin thinking about their own SOA initiatives. I conclude by challenging executives to shift from systems to service thinking to enable SOA to be a driver for enterprise-wide redesign.
