| Abstract: |
Adopting Web Services and SOA is an evolutionary process for vendors and their customers. The question is how do you manage progress and risk in a constantly changing environment? While the technology issues are inevitably dominant today, this is merely a symptom of the immaturity of the service environment. Very soon business issues will dominate. In this report we introduce a high level maturity model that provides a communication vehicle for aligning business and technology roadmaps.

| Backgrounder: |
Every parent is familiar with the sound of the tiny voice piping up from the rear seats of the automobile "when are we going to be there?" Many are starting to ask the same question of Web Services, which are on the face of it, taking an inordinate amount of time to come to anything like widespread acceptance. Believe it or not it's nearly three years since Web Services first came on the scene, and four since XML-RPC activity signaled the paradigm shift. Two things are clear - first Web Services are far from mature by any measure, and second we have a long way to run before we reach anything like maturity. In this report we offer a very simple model to assist communication and planning. This model is not intended to be definitive or precise, rather a rough aid to understanding what's going on, and to assist communication. |
