That's the point. If IT is more unwilling, it doesn't make too much sense just starting with the easier business side and hoping that IT will accept the idea later on.
It's not that they're building missiles and trying to get ready to nuke people, give them a attainable goal by today's standards - such as better aligning business and IT (should give quantitive figures here). If IT can come up with a better way without using SOA, it shouldn't matter. That said, I have to admit strategy should differ depending on the organizational culture. IMO, it's better to survey the situation and come up with a workable solution instead of trying to apply a fixed set of procedures or products. :-) I think SOA has become unpopular because we have been trying to "teach" instead of "coach". IMHO, change comes from within. H.Ozawa --- In [email protected], Steve Jones <jones.ste...@...> wrote: > > This is where I really disagree.
