A recent IDC (News - Alert) study indicates that there is a growing interest in Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption across Western European sectors. Adoption status and plans vary from industry to industry, and banking, telecoms, as well as government are the top 3 sectors to watch. IDC says that information around SOA adoption in Western Europe is often fragmented and thus it might become difficult to get a clear vision of where the real SOA opportunities are.

 

Angela Vacca, consulting manager, European Vertical Markets said in a statement that a survey clearly indicates the SOA market is continuing to evolve as a wider range of industries are in the process of deploying this architectural approach. She said that this means there are new opportunities for IT vendors operating in the SOA sphere.
