Mashups from Mars, SOAs from Venus?

In recent posts, I spoke of the SOA-open source-Web 2.0 conglomeration, a whirling dervish that is provoking a range of reactions across the industry, from eye rolls to wide-eyed fascination. The mashup of applications above service-oriented architectures seems to have legs, and IBM's Bob Zurek coined the phenomenon as Enterprise...

Yes, we're relevant; here's an acronym to prove it

Yes, we're relevant; here's an acronym to prove itSOBA, SOA, SBA?Joe, 2 things about this post: 1. SOBA does not mean Service Oriented Business Architecture, but Service Oriented Business Applications. Check the Gartner research, they talk about Applications, not Architecture. Besides, the term would mean nothing: There is Enterprise Architecture...

Gartner: smaller business will do SOA, too

ZDNet's Chris Jablonski cites a new Gartner report accessible to paying clients only that predicts that 40% of all development investments among small to medium-size businesses will be going to SOA (service-oriented architecture) or SOBA (service-oriented business applications) within the next five years.Gartner's tangled alphabet soup aside (SOA vs. SOBA...

SODA and SOBA anyone?

Gartner published a report today for the small and midsized companies SMB crowd showing them the light at the end of the SOA tunnel. According to the report, many SMBs find service-oriented architectures to be daunting, but through 2010, over 40% of their investments in new technology will be directly...

Making magic

Abracadabra, here's Gartner's most recent Magic Quadrant covering "Web-Services-Enabled Software" (3Q04). The category is defined here as "a composite market, with functionality embedded in software products that are not being developed or sold primarily for those capabilities." And as you can see, top honors go to Microsoft and IBM. Surprise,...

I've been fired!

A security guard met me as I was leaving last night: took me straight to Personnel where some slimy "consultant" asked for my ID card and made me wait while security (poor Bert, he was so embarrassed) packed a box of personal stuff from my office and brought it down....

Service Oriented Architectures and the Mainframe

Service Oriented Architecture SOA is a technology architecture that has gained mass appeal throughout the IT industry. The basic promise of an SOA is the development of reusable services that abstracts the capabilities of underlying IT applications. Each of these services should represent an atomic business transaction and be constructed...

Mashups from Mars, SOAs from Venus?

Mashups from Mars, SOAs from Venus?Data MashupsI tend to think of enterprise mashups as more to do with the data, as I wrote about here http://blogs.ipedo.com/integration_insider/2006/04/data_mashups.htmlIsn't SOA the ultimate mashup?It's the integration of multiple, often incompatible systems into a new, cohesive whole that's better (hopefully, ideally) aligned to a business...

Yes, we're relevant; here's an acronym to prove it

Last year at this time, IBM foisted a new acronym on this acronym-fatigued world, called Services Oriented Modeling and Architecture SOMA. Gartner laid something on us called SODA (Service-Oriented Development Architecture), and if that wasn't enough, brought us SOBA, or Service-Oriented Business Applications. Lately, Cisco has thrown its own acronym...

Who says SMBs don't get SOA yet?

Who says SMBs don't get SOA yet?The answer is simpleWorking with hundreds of components if fiendishly complicated. No one in a small company has time to keep track of all this. No large company that is running their IT efficiently and responsibly should have any truck with the nightmarish complexity...

Who says SMBs don't get SOA yet?

Web services/SOA are inherently egalitarian, in that anyone can pick up the specifications and apply them somewhere. Large companies have a distinct advantage, however, in that they have armies of developers and system architects that can "experiment" with new approaches. Small to medium-size businesses need to work with whatever they...

All tomorrow's services...

It's easytoget lost in the technical minutiaeassociated with SOA and Web Services. Presented with a blizzard of acronyms (SOAP, SOBA, XML), business decision-makers might even be tempted to roll their eyes and walk away. But that would be a terrible mistake. As Accenture's Anatole Gershman has written, the challenge for...
