Speaking at a specialist conference on SOA deployment, Rob Hailstone, director of IDC's European SOA and application platforms division, said that a survey of attendees at a similar conference last year showed that a lack of budget was the most common reason for stalling on SOA projects, with 40 percent citing this as a major factor.
The perception that SOA products remained immature was also widespread, with 26 percent saying they did not think current technologies were suitable. "There's a lot of scepticism about the maturity of the market," Hailstone said.
