System Vendors Sight SOA: Page 3 of 4

The other major challenge users face as they roll out their SOA infrastructures is cultural, rather than technological, according to Bloomberg. “What you need for this to work is discipline." This could mean, for example, working out which parts of the business own which parts of the project and addressing funding issues, he adds.

Nonetheless, both IBM and HP are planning to fill out their SOA initiatives over the coming months. IBM, which has already spent $1 billion on developing WebSphere for SOA, has got plenty more up its sleeve, according to Carter. “You can look for some very significant announcements from us in the second half of the year,” she says.

HP’s LaJeunesse says that the vendor is planning to launch more consulting services during the coming six months, along with another SOA competency center for the Asia/Pacific region.
