Silver lining 2: now may be the best time of all for SOA startups

Where are all the SOA startups?  We already know that much of the Class of 2000 has been gobbled up into larger, in many cases, less-SOA-centric, entities. (See list, here.) But where is the next generation of SOA startups coming from? Does such a thing even exist...

Analyst: Google Chrome 'SOA ready'

There's been plenty of excellent commentary about Google's new Chrome browser provided by my colleagues here in the ZDNet community, so I'm not going to go into any nitty-gritty here. But to look at it from an enterprise perspective, Chrome may help lay the groundwork for a...

Enterprise Service Busted?

'Agility' 10 times over -- and other ways to tell it's not SOA

I got some interesting responses to my recent post, "Ten Ways to Tell It's Not SOA." Dave Linthicum added five more to the list, including: "11) If this is a change in 'paradigm' and not a change in 'architecture' ... it's not SOA." "12) If your...

Selling SOA: Stating the obvious

Successful IT projects, including Service-Oriented Architecture SOA initiatives, begin with a clear rationale designed to help an organization solve specific business or technology problems. Practitioners frequently ignore this obvious point, which causes many failed projects. With this in mind, I had mixed reactions...

What's stopping vendors from offering SOA from the cloud?

There's been plenty of excitement -- and capital investment -- in on-demand or cloud computing applications over the past year or so. (Even though there may be some peril, as discussed in my last post.) But is the SOA market itself practicing the on-demand approach? Time for...

Analyst Insights podcast examines WOA-SOA continuum with keen eye on cloud computing

Whoa, WOA: Are acronyms clouding up the cloud?

ZDNet colleague Dana Gardner points to Michael Meehan's recent post on the Web Oriented Architecture WOA -- Mike spoke with some industry practitioners who apparently didn't think too much of the "WOA" moniker, striking them "as redundant and nothing particularly new, an empty suit if you will." Just another fancy...

'Enough with WOA, stick to SOA,' say IT architects - I say drop WOA and SOA

Mike Meehan at SearchSOA.com has done some homework on the use of Web Oriented Architecture WOA, and the IT folks in the field are fed up. Enough with the labels, they seem to be saying. And they raise excellent points. I for one am by no means...

Carbon management dashboards and SOA's uncertain role in Green IT

There's been plenty of discussion about 'Green IT' over the past year, but, as far as I can tell, there has been little discussion about SOA's role in all this. It can be assumed that as data centers are consolidated and streamlined, SOA methodologies will be employed to play some...

Thought leadership grows around advancing 'WOA plus SOA' as enterprise-cloud duo

Respected developer, adviser and thought leader Dion Hinchcliffe has posted a watershed blog that develops a compelling rationale for Web Oriented Architecture's (WOA's) advancing role in enterprises. The logic is not to supplant or dismiss Service Oriented Architecture SOA, but rather to examine how WOA -- also...
