When it comes to building an SOA, "It's all about, 'How do we get information to the business user in a simple straightforward way?' says Paul Patrick, Chief Architect for BEA's AquaLogic family of service infrastructure products.

The company released a new version of AquaLogic today that may go a long way toward realizing that goal.

"You used to have to program to get access to this information, especially in the SOA world, so what we've done is add an Excel add-in so that an Excel user -- without having to learn to write macros, can just double-click and take advantage of this data," Patrick says.

"That's why we thought it was so important to push this new Excel add-on out there so a broader community could take advantage of it," he added. "The reality is that when we think about SOA it's not about technology, it's really about creating a new ability for the business to be more agile, so the business has to take a critical role in making that happen."
