| Abstract: |
In January there was widespread debate about the status of SOA, sparked by a blog from industry analyst Burton Group titled SOA is Dead. The blog seemed to be widely misunderstood, but the core assertion was that the name SOA is associated with techno-centric activity, past its sell by date and that the objectives of SOA will only be achieved by spectacular change. So how do you respond when you are challenged that SOA is Dead? |
| Backgrounder: |
Anne Thomas Manes of the Burton Group penned a blog1 under the title SOA is Dead, suggesting that, except in rare situations, SOA has failed to deliver its promised benefits. Whilst Ms Manes goes on to say that we need SOA even more than ever, “SOA” has become a bad word which should be removed from our vocabulary.
Now I don’t agree with the assertion that SOA has, except in rare situations, failed to deliver. But maybe this is because of the company I keep. Organizations CBDI works with are typically more focused on structured, planned approaches. However I do accept that many organizations are deep in the SOA tar pit, which we refer to as Service Oriented Anarchy
