Well, maybe they don't mix after all. Or if they do, the business world isn't getting it.
How soon will SOA be a part of the way we do business? According to IBM and the SOA Consortium, we'll see a strong rise in the top companies in the next three years. Saugatuck Technology and Jack van Hoof say it will take at least 10 years before we are really there.
The answer could lie somewhere in the middle. I believe it will depend on how much change is needed in current architectures to meet this as a goal. And more important, should SOA be a goal of business? Will business be able to compute and demonstrate the ROI for SOA? The risks for IT projects where the intent is contribute to SOA will be an inability to prove ROI. And it will be extremely difficult for IT departments to define their business case to support decisions in the direction of SOA.
Ultimately the question will come down to: SOA - savior or black hole?

Lisa, I guess this is my 4th time in making this comment, but I believe companies (especially large/older) will either implement SOA or fall behind those that do! Roy
