Service Oriented Architecture or SOA is a right choice for companies and can get them profits if they do it right. A new Aberdeen analysis of some 400 companies over the last 1.5 years has shown a deep division between organisations that deploy SOA Lite, and those that are building out full SOA middleware infrastructure.
Aberdeen says with two diverse software investment profiles, there will be varying degree of successes. Organisations that focus on SOA infrastructure are outperforming those that are deploying only web services. It said they are realising lower application lifecycle costs, better throughput for projects, and higher levels of user satisfaction.
Aberdeen found:
Fifty-six per cent of Best-in-Class are focusing primarily on SOA infrastructure, versus 31 per cent of the Industry Average. Only 11 per cent of the Laggards are building and deploying SOA applications.
Further, 61 per cent of the best-in-class have invested in SOA infrastructure middleware.
Only 17 per cent said they used a combination. In fact, after looking at the pay-offs of SOA versus Web services, Aberdeen concludes it’s best to pick one or the other. Mixing Web services with SOA infrastructure is too complicated, leading to unnecessary stumbling blocks.
According to SOA white paper, the other practices that differentiate the best-in-class from the industry average
- Leaders pay to retrain IT staff for SOA (61 per cent).
- Leaders have upgraded to new development tools that support SOA (53 per cent).
- Leaders apply new methodologies and architecture to new application development (72 per cent).
- Leaders have deployed SOA operations management software (47 per cent).
- Leaders use SOA governance software (41 per cent).
