Alex, you've got it. I'm calling Bullsh*t on Business-SOA, which I interpret as business-only SOA, ie believing that technology is basically irrelevant to the success of SOA because "good" business-only SOA can work with ANY technology, including smoke signals. That's pure fantasy concocted on PPT slides. Hence B-SOA (business-only SOA) is BS-SOA (bullsh*t SOA). T-SOA (Technology-SOA) is just as bad. It believes that business-issues don't matter because SOA technology is so powerful and wonderful and magical that the mere purchase, deployment, and technical training in WS-*, ESBs, Registry/Repositories will improve the business automagically. T-SOA (technology-only SOA) is also BS-SOA (bullsh*t SOA). Sorry my bad punning was so confusing. -- Nick
