Does Your Business See Value in SOA?

SOA is a simple three-letter acronym that causes a lot of confusion. What exactly is SOA and why is it at the forefront of IT initiatives around the world? Interestingly, if you ask your peers what SOA means, you'll get a wide variety of responses. Some people will talk about modular applications or reusable components, while others will describe loose coupling or standards-based integration. Other people will describe it as the next generation of IT infrastructure, and invariably you will get the most stripped-down description, "Web Services." Of course, SOA incorporates all of these concepts, but what is missing in these definitions is the value that SOA brings to organizations. In other words, the translation of IT benefits to business benefits has been lost.

Why All This Fuzz About SOA?

I’ve been to dozens of SOA lectures, presentations and conferences and though I considered some (the first ones) to be very interesting as I approached the subject, it soon started to get a bit boring as I easily could anticipate what the presenters were going to say: why adopt SOA, how will your company benefit from SOA, the possibilities SOA gives you, etc. etc.

Less SOA QQ and more SOA Pew Pew

Bear with me a moment as I introduce this topic by QQing about things like QQ. First, let me define my terms. QQ, for the uninitiated, is a pejorative term meaning to complain or cry about something, ostensibly because (given the right font) the two letters look like eyes with tears. The expression "pew pew" is derived from the sound of a laser, and means to take aggressive action. Those familiar with forum-speak and adolescent texting should be familiar with these and other terms, most of which rank high on my list of pet peeves.
