Nine out of 10 adopters of service-oriented architecture (SOA) report costs savings as a result of their projects, according to a comprehensive survey released today by Systinet, a leading software provider of the foundation for SOA governance and lifecycle management. The in-depth survey, conducted in concert with the industry portal Webservices.org, uncovered some significant findings: SOA is fast becoming mainstream; power users are emerging; and standards support is vital to driving deployments. A free copy of the report is available from Systinet's website.
Systinet, in partnership with Webservices.org, a leading online portal for SOA and Web services, compiled the online industry survey by obtaining responses from more than 900 enterprise IT professionals. Respondents provided a detailed overview of their current use of SOA and Web services, the results they've achieved to date, and their requirements for the future. Responses came from a diverse group of professionals working for a wide variety of different organizations, reflecting a broad interest in Web services and SOA. The survey, which was promoted to Webservices.org subscribers and Systinet's community of more than 65,000 registered users, marks one of the biggest-ever samples of sentiment to date in the SOA space.
