IBM is intent on building out its service-oriented architecture (SOA) portfolio, unveiling the new Business Integration Adoption Model along with new tools, workshops and services.
SOAs represent the next popular model of computing, using Web services and other reusable assets to help organizations integrate applications and trigger communication between computers and gear from multiple vendors.
IBM has been beating this drum for more than a year now, with a steady stream of product services and plans for helping customers set up and maintain an SOA. The company has been proposing its global services group as the best way to install an SOA, SOMA architecture earlier this year.
