Abstract
:
- Everybody
is gravitating toward service orientation within the enterprise,
and there are all sorts of reasons why it makes sense from
management and architecture reasons, redundancy development,
and other things. Hence, it may have a definite life span
-- and that may be 5-10 years.
-
SOA future trajectory would be the ability to consume, as
an enterprise, services in a marketplace, where such pressures
or forces as competition and a drive for lower costs and
higher benefits could play quite nicely and effectively
build, so that you find areas where you might overlap with
someone in your supply chain.
-
Consistency of Services will define a successful services
provider, and will have to move towards SOA for achieving
this.
-
Mash ups, RSS Feeds and content delineation will make impact
on future SOA.
-
Successful SOA is dealing with a complexity of integration,
managing complexity of semantic issues, people and behavioral
issues, and then boundary and political and government issues.
-
If SOA was going to make agility the number-one requirement
when five- to seven-year window on recovering costs -- or
a bit more of a common company that has to deal with quarterly
returns, and are seemingly always under pressure to cut
costs -- there's got to be a better business payback here.
Future SOA lies in align business strategy with your enterprise
architecture practice.
-
Globalization is a trend these days the companies never
had to compete before. So perhaps competition, the ability
to compete and win markets and outflank your direct competitors
and partners efficiently and to do mergers and acquisitions
well because your IT department can keep up with the business
strategies will drive the big payoffs from SOA.
-
Mashups, interactive SOA, event-driven SOA and process-driven
SOA will become architectural patterns to build SOA.
-
SOA can't exist without governance, and governance is about
to three simple things: people, policies, and process. Enterprise
Architecture and Reference architectures should be covering
these three simple things.
