What's wrong with SOA being 'enterprisey'?

A new word has entered our lexicon: 'enterprisey,' which is being applied to SOA. Is this a word with positive or negative connotations? (Wikipedia defines it as a "derogatory" term.) Tim Bray Sun agrees that being enterprisey is not a good thing, and recently made the charge that SOA/WS-splat is...

SOA enters 'Second Life'

Dave Linthicum saw Anne Thomas Manes' latest post on the "SOA is Dead" affair, and declared that it's time to move on from the 'SOA is dead' debate. "We're entering a new, and productive, era where SOA is providing its appropriate value." Hear, hear, well said. Anne herself said we...

'SOA is Dead' debate lives on and on

I didn't see the brilliant analyst Anne Thomas Manes at either of this week's IBM IMPACT or Software AG's SOA Summit events, but boy, was she there in spirit. The topic still on everybody's minds and lips at both events was Anne's pronouncement at the beginning of the year that...

Bull market for SOA emerges -- or should that be Red Bull market?

Dave Linthicum really has a way with expressions, and I can relate to his latest admonition -- forget the endless hype and discussion around SOA and cloud computing, and just sling down a few Red Bulls and start rocking and rolling. I, too, am getting tired, just...

Soft talk: What is service oriented communications, and why will it matter?

Can we build our phone systems as standardized applications or services that will easily plug into the rest of our IT infrastructures? That's the promise of service oriented communications, which could convert communications and communications channels (voice, text, conference calls, email, IM) into software, so we can...

Burton Group plans to lay SOA to rest (no pun intended)

As we all know by now, Anne Thomas Manes tearfully announced that SOA met its untimely or very timely demise on New Year's Day, the victim of an errant meteor, or some kind of weird piece of junk falling from outer space. (Or perhaps a stray shot from the grassy...

SOA's support network

David Linthicum counterbalanced last week's downbeat assessment on the things killing SOA with five reasons to be optimistic about service orienting (that's the spirit).
