Expect to hear lots about SOA and middleware next few weeks
- Oracle is launching its Fusion Middleware 11g July 1
- On its Flex call this week, I heard Infor invoke SOA several times
- Software AG announced webMethods 8.0 today – more SOA enablement
So, puzzled with this renewed focus on SOA I thought I would ask folks who know about hot days – Mad dogs and Englishmen.
I turned to the Englishman, Dennis Howlett who recently had dinner with folks from Tibco and probably heard SOA a few times. Dennis’ speculation “the promise of SOA was always about re-use and lower cost...I'm guessing that since that's top of mind these days?”
I turned to my beagle, Peanuts. He longingly looked up to the clouds, panting in the heat.
I suspect many customers also are - at SaaS and amazon type of clouds for truly lowered costs
