| Abstract: |
Web Service Management (WSM) stands on the precipice of the chasm. CBDI has consistently promoted the need for service management, and as Web Services and SOA take off, the mass market would appear to offer an enormous opportunity. But is WSM a separate market serving a distinct service management requirement, or will organizations rely on traditional systems management and other infrastructure products that have been upgraded with Web Service capability? In this report we ask in what form WSM will cross the chasm, and consider current trends in the WSM marketplace. |
| Backgrounder: |
CBDI has advocated the need for service management for over three years. Even before the Web Service Management (WSM) label was widely used, our Service Pipeline model in the Business Services Server report1 outlined the typical areas of WSM product functionality.
Although there are now a number of reasonably mature products the WSM market has still in the words of Geoffrey Moore to “cross the chasm”2 and be adopted by the mainstream market. In this report we look at market trends that will affect how WSM products will cross the chasm and the relationships with the broader infrastructure for Web Services.
