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...

Analogy: WOA treats symptoms, but SOA the cure for IT complexity

"There is a very specific disease of Enterprise IT that SOA cures. It cures chronic ESSD, or Enterprise Software Stupidity Disease." Leave it to Miko Matsumura Software AG to come up with a clever analogy for all things service-oriented. Miko has been following the WOA-SOA brouhaha I...

Other views: Don't be so fast to declare 'Enterprise SOA' DOA

Two industry movers and shakers, whose opinions I value greatly, have called me on the carpet for my recent post on the de-emphasizing of 'Enterprise' SOA. (See "Enterprise SOA falls out of favor.") There's no point in waiting for everyone's approval to start SOA ...

Birds of a feather? More on the awkward SOA-BPM dance

Miko Matsumura weighed in on the recent discussion around the relationship between SOA and business process management BPM, noting that perhaps a good analogy would be a mating dance seen in the wild, versus a dance involving nervous high-school sophomores:"Like the mating dance of the Sand Hill Crane, this...

SaaS Opens Up SOA Beyond the Firewall

The convergence of service-oriented architecture and Software as a Service lays open the possibilities of bringing in services from outside the firewall, which can be “snapped” into place within a company’s infrastructure. This also means that services a company creates can be introduced to a broader market beyond the firewall.Miko...

IONA registry product enters the SOA governance frayQuestion for you...Dana-Do you think this recent announcement is indicative of a trend toward registry/repositories that are tailored toward a particular platform, with "checkbox" support for registry/repository federation and/or interoperability?

Start SOA small, miss the big picture?

Okay, let's get it started. But what is the best way to get started with service-oriented architecture -- as small-scale pilot projects that prove themselves and get built out organically, or as a comprehensive, enterprise-scale transformation? I have been dialoging with Infravio’s Miko Matsumura lately on this question. Miko pooh-poohs...

SOA, Roman, Greek, or Modern: you don't 'do' architecture

Service Oriented ImplementationAnd by the way there's virtually no ROI you can associate with doing architectural work in a service oriented way. It's actually implementing the architectural plan that provides the benefit. Service Oriented Implementation anyone?My 2 centsMiko

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...

Services or subtasks? SOA and BPM may mean the same thing

Services and ProcessesI disagree that they are the "same thing"...Services are when you dont care how it's done and Processes are when you do.In business, you tend not to care how something is done when it's a commodity and you can cheaply get something anywhere.When you care about processes it's...
