Keeping SOA, the Silo Killer, From Creating New Silos
Takeaway: 53 percent of companies surveyed said they were increasing SOA spending; the survey also found that most SOA efforts become separate 'islands' of integration within different business units. Many companies deploy different SOA projects using multiple approaches (ESBs to middleware) under the same roof. This problem has two solutions: federation, as in federated infrastructure, and governance, as effective governance will support any endpoint across the enterprise.
