Blueprints will cover both 'macho' and non-macho SOA

Much like SOA itself, the just-announced "SOA Blueprints" effort will be defined as it goes along. I recently spoke with Infravio's Miko Matsumura, proposed chair of OASIS' SOA Adoption Blueprints Technical Committee.

It's the metaphor that Miko Matsumura, vice president of marketing for Infravio, uses to describe the state of the current SOA field...

Conference alert: let's make SOA work for a living

Welcome to Service Oriented Architecture, Phase 2. It's bigger, It's badder, it's all business.  None of this namby-pamby JBOWs stuff. None of these SOAPY-REST tantrums. SOA is all grown up now, and it's time it starts earning the bacon. I am serving as conference chair and...

Will vendors finally force SOA and BPM to mingle?

BPM and SOATake it from me, there is a rich culture of thinkers at Software AG who see the connection between BPM and SOA and the way in which technology elements can help foster both agendas.As for Jason Bloomberg's comment about the acquisition being "about" vertical expertise, let me comment...

Overused words of the decade: 'open' and 'enterprise'

"Open" is what we would like every piece of code to aspire to, and "enterprise" means a harmonious collection of industrious people and purring machines. They are the magical marketing words, evoking images of all that is good and wholesome. But perhaps they are getting overused. Everything...

'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...

Oracle-Sun: an enterprise catastrophe

Oracle acquires Sun- that came out of left field. Well not quite. Fellow Irregular Josh Greenbaum talked about Oracle 'completing the picture' with a Sun acquisition back in 2003. Yes - SIX years ago. Putting on my curmudgeon's curmudgeon hat I can't help but think this is...

The Oracle-buys-Sun thing - 'Snorkel' - what's the deal with that?

'Business-IT alignment' is dead... whatever it was

Long the subject of countless articles, blogs, and seminars: Do IT folks "get" the business? How do we achieve "business-IT alignment"? Perhaps its time to put this tired argument to rest. IT folks not only "get" the business, they are the business. The business...

Inject animal spirits back into SOA with small teams (no more than seven members)

Are we finally returning to basics with SOA? Maybe with the recent "SOA is dead" shock therapy, along with the rise of Enterprise 2.0 and cloud computing thinking, there's recognition that service orienting needs to be fast and agile, injecting value into the business where it is needed the most...

Does 'SOA lifecycle management' say it better than 'SOA governance'?

Oh what a difference five years makes. Back in the good old days, 2002-03, IT people at the time our ancestors were fascinated with this new approach called "service oriented architecture," which would make integration faster and cheaper and less onerous. Now that many companies have services in production, they...
