August 2004 Cutter Benchmark Review: SOA: How to Work It and How Well It Works

by Tom Welsh

There is currently a lot of excitement over SOA, which many vendors and analysts are talking up as the next big thing in enterprise IT. Although consensus is lacking as to its exact nature, there is a strong feeling that an SOA is a good thing to have and that organizations should be making plans to implement one. In fact, depending on which definition you go by, quite a few organizations may already have an SOA up and running. Some say it is like Web services, but more rigorously derived from formal business models; others maintain that any distributed system based on services should qualify as an SOA, including those built years ago with transaction processing monitors or CORBA.
