SOA integration: Accenture launches Innovation Centre for Oracle in Europe
|
Recent data out of industry analyst firm IDC confirms many organizations have successfully completed small-scale service-oriented architecture (SOA) pilot projects, but not without a number of business management challenges that must be addressed before wider-scale adoption can be started—namely complexities surrounding the ability to map business processes, where to invest in SOA for maximum ROI, and how to translate the benefits of SOA from technical to business language.
According to Jan A. Duffy, research manager, Government and Health Insights, IDC EMEA, cultural and attitudinal changes are fundamental to successfully adopting SOA, and while a solid technology base is definitely a benefit, it is not enough. "The lines between IT and business are so blurred that they almost don't exist when it comes to adopting something like [SOA]. IDC fully believes that SOA is a challenge, but it is abundant with opportunities. SOA isn't just about technology—it's also about getting the organization right."
