Being at the moment stuck in the depths of the French countryside where the telecoms infrastructure is somewhat fourth-world, I have not downloaded the current edition of SD Times. However, I would just like to observe that an inherent virtue of SOA must surely be the ability to extend the useful life of application code, not only by reuse of application modules, but by providing a framework for legacy integration. An example: how about that Crédit Suisse project enabled by IONA and proselitised by Gartner?
