Our involvement in the SOA industry keeps us on top of where the service-oriented computing platform is evolving and our widely accepted publications provide us the opportunity to help shape its path.
This strategic focus gives us a constantly deep insight into the most important aspects of SOA, specifically:
|
• |
which vendors are most influential in affecting and defining SOA concepts and technologies
|
|
• |
the adoption, maturity, and relevance of open Web services and XML specifications
|
|
• |
the suitability and relevance of products and technologies associated with SOA
|
|
• |
the on-going evolution of vendor SOA platforms
|
|
• |
commonalities and discrepancies of vendor SOA platforms
|
|
• |
SOA-related standards initiatives
|
This insight can be of great benefit to organizations planning for an SOA transition, as well as software manufacturers intending to position their products within the SOA space. SOA Systems can therefore also provide the following forms of strategic guidance for ISVs:
|
• |
development of corporate SOA product strategies
|
|
• |
development of product-centric SOA reference models
|
|
• |
product assessments for industry-standard SOA compliance
|
|
• |
product technology audits for internal design compliance to SOA standards
|
|
• |
marketplace surveys for positioning and branding recommendations
|
|
• |
marketplace research for competitor assessments
|
|
• |
white paper and case study authoring and other communication services (see Authoring page)
|
By leveraging SOA Systems research and evaluation resources, the quality and value of products and technologies developed for the ever-growing SOA marketplace can be increased significantly and fostered to evolve in alignment with industry-standard SOA.
