SOA 2008 - It's the economy...

This morning’s dismal US Jobs Report and the ensuing analysis  laden with the “R-word” reminded me of a conversation the SOA Consortium community-of-practice had on our December 4, 2007 call that I had been meaning to post over on SOA Consortium Insights.  During that call, I asked our members the following:

“What does the ensuing (or on-going) economic downturn mean for SOA in 2008? Will the economic downturn and associated budget cutbacks drive organizations to, or away from, SOA in 2008?”

We had a good discussion, the results of which are here.  I'm curious, what does this community think?  Will SOA be employed as a strategy to cope with, and prosper in, tumultuous times?.  Or, will SOA be seen as a budget line to cut?  Let me know, via a comment or trackback, here or there.
