SPOTLIGHT
ON SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURE |
Last year, many enterprises were starting to deploy
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). Now, the early-adopters
are reviewing their experience, and satisfaction runs
high. According to a recent report by Forrester, nearly
70% of SOA users say that they will increase their use.
SOA is here to stay.
What does this mean for enterprise architects?
Many of the guiding principles of SOA are not new.
Re-use, interoperability and compliance to standards
(both common and industry-specific) have been championed
by the experts and member companies of The Open Group
Architecture Forum for more than 11 years. But it is
becoming increasingly clear that, while the fundamental
principles remain valid, SOA does require new ideas and
new skills.
And service-orientation has even deeper implications.
It can lead to new business models and organizational
structures. It helps the architect to think in terms
of an enterprise architecture that includes IT, rather
than an IT architecture that supports the enterprise.
Which means that architects must not just master the
new technology. They must understand business and technology
together, in order to deliver true enterprise architecture.
