<<Start Small. Start small. Start Small. Start Small. Oh wait, I forgot to mention that you should probably Start Small.
The superplatform vendors want you to do things "iteratively". Iteratively is code word for dont build too fast so we can catch up to the market! Platform vendors have long been hoping that SOA could be defined as "all the stuff I have been selling for years, with a new brand". Customers are too smart to fall for that and are steaming aheadÂ… I think the only folks who have gotten "Start Small" correct have been Zapthink. The piece that they get right is that the things you do in a pilot are the exact opposite of what you need to do to get to enterprise scale. The shortcuts that seemed so expedient in the small picture are impossible to avoid when you take a serious corporate asset and put it up as a live service. If you dont have some reasonable architectureal guidance in place as you go to enterprise scale, even starting small wont get you there.
