projects with well defined ROI.
3. Software as a Service vendors (and app vendors in general) mature
their SOA integration and composition capabilities to radically reduce
implementation costs (over time) and thereby increase adoption rates.
4. Difficulty in differentiating major SOA software vendor's offerings
drives down software costs.
5. Information technology looks to open source SOA as a way to save
costs and will often opt-out of commercial support programs pressuring
for profit open source even as adoption accelerates.
6. Microsoft to more aggressively enter the SOA markets as their Olso
initiatives and Windows foundation frameworks take hold with the
potential to further commoditize SOA software.
7. Arcane architecture terms like SOA, WOA and REST become less relevant
as tools to support the technologies blur distinctions.
8. Less emphasis on SOA as an autonomous discipline and reduction in
vendor SOA hype as SOA is assimilated into mainstream enterprise and
application architecture.
9. A widening gap between the IT haves and have-nots as enterprise
architecture becomes more complex with SOA and Web 2.0 technologies.
10. SOA initiatives are more successful with the maturation of best
practices, practitioner skills and vendor software.>>
