Today in the meeting the director declared we will be using SOA design approch for all new development and in next few years all our systems will be using SOA. I guess IBM sales person did a good job, SOA is the future. I dont know our business logics never changes atleast not in last couple of years we are still using multiple technologies from SAP to cobol and one of our core application is still running on IBM AS400 which we have no plans to upgrade (none i know of). The new IT budget close to $90 million is approved so we need to spend money some where i think its a good time for me to ask for a raise in hourly rate too, well i have bills too...
One group of people gets confused that SOA or service Oriented Architecture is some kind of software which we can buy get training on it and boom its all done. The other group takes it as web service or re-useable componenet like COM objects, lot of questions were raised that we are still using it, but i guess hardly any one knew what is service oriented architecture of application is the IBM sales personals tried to define it in easy way that its the future and all enterprise business are using it.
SOA is a design concept for businesses in which all service providers (computer systems) use common standard protocol to talk to each other. The protocol which the sytems use is called SOAP very much like web services a common example i have seen is implemented by Paypal to accepting credits cards on merchant own websites.
I am still researching in more depth on SOA i guess i have used it in many applications with out knowing. I will write on it more later.
