1. The main point of the post is that there is a pattern and process
to SOA Governance.
2. It is widely acknowledged that SOA Governance is key to successful
SOA adoption. No news there and I don't see a point in your rephrasing.
3. I make a distinct separation between SOA & its governance. In
terms of relative maturity of SOA, the basis of my assertion is as
follows:
* SOA awareness is quite high (particularly in developed markets and
growing). Five years ago, I would have to start the conversation with
an introduction to SOA. This isn't the case anymore. Now, most
conversations are about readiness, feasibility, approach,
implementation/delivery...
* There are lots of references, case studies, best practices, service
providers, methodologies, standards, tools, and other assets around SOA.
Some of the standards are in their second or third version. The tools
are in their second or third generation.
* The vendor ecosystem has already gone through some consolidation.
Now, vendors are looking ahead at extending SOA into new architectures,
domains or verticals...
