Steve Mills, senior vice president and group executive, IBM Software Group, acknowledge that the general SOA software market is not mature, but said the tools announced today will help customers get started with SOA.
"The market is still in the early stages," he said, while touting what he called "the breadth and depth" of IBM integration and transaction processing software and labeling Big Blue's SOA products and services as "second to none."
Regarding the market in general, Mills was more optimistic than those who question the capabilities of current SOA software to meet business demands.
