SOA’s Next Phase

  • 0 min read

There is no doubt about it: service-oriented architecture, or SOA, has gained acceptance as a way to exchange data previously trapped in legacy systems and isolated databases.

According to a study released in November 2006 by Boston-based AMR Research, 35% of executives said their companies had implemented one or more projects using SOA. A survey of 179 technology executives, published last month by CIO Insight, found that 79% expect their company’s technology architecture will be based on service-oriented software, Web services and related technologies in the next five years.
