Miko - what a thought provoking article! Thanks for the softball. If these are the 10 obstacles to implementing SOA... we have to ask the very simple question: Can we remove them? Here are the 10 reasons, followed up with the 'obvious question'... (you may want to read the article first to get the context). "Top Reasons Why People are Making SOA Fail" 1. They fail to explain SOA's business value - What if... SOA didn't require an explanation to the business? 2. They underestimate the impact of organizational change - What if... SOA didn't require organizational change? 3. They fail to secure strong executive sponsorship - What if... SOA didn't require executive sponsorship? 4. They attempt to do SOA on the cheap - What if... SOA wasn't expensive? 5. They lack the required skills to do SOA - What if... SOA didn't require major skills retooling/ 6. They have poor project management - What if... SOA didn't affect project management? 7. They think of SOA as a project instead of an architecture - What if... SOA was clear in everyones head? 8. They underestimate the complexity of SOA - What if... SOA wasn't complex? 9. They fail to implement and adhere to SOA Governance - What if... SOA didn't require governance? (AKA, synthetic trust) 10. They let the vendors drive the architecture - What if... SOA didn't need much vendor infrastructure? Call me nutty... Jeff
