SOA (service-oriented architecture) pitch: an underlying trend in enterprise IT infrastructure

By Jeremy Fain, January 23, 2007

No time for serious blogging tonight, but if I may share a strong belief with you: SOA is no hype or trendy word to use. In my opinion, SOA is a serious, long-term evolutionary way for companies to organize their information flows better, and share resources with their stakeholders more efficiently through a highly flexible infrastructure. More on SOA soon by the way.

In the meantime, I should let you with that video that says practically nothing about how service-oriented architecture is implemented – but it’s still a good pitch on the value chain applications of service-oriented architectures. One thing’s that certain: demand is very high, and SOA departments of all IT service companies are buzzing places.

By the way, what’s the limit of time you allow yourself to watch a video on YouTube, MS SoapBox (yet to be released), DailyMotion or MetaCafé? Unless I REALLY want to watch it (Ali G. or Dragon’s Den), 2 minutes 57 seconds is a threshold I hardly break. What about you? My intuition suggests me that when it comes to videobuzzing (a word yet to be patented), the shorter the better.

    Hey Purwadi,

    I don’t like this video too much myself. I believe it’s a pretty good speech on the potential of SOA, but it doesn’t say anything on how to implement and operate SOA from a technical viewpoint.

    In other words, I’d say this video is a big (but well put together) bullshit.
