IBM has 500 consultants available for its recently announced SOA governance practice and is training nearly 90,000 IBM Business Consulting Services employees to help customers with SOA.
Hewlett-Packard added more than 2,000 new consulting and integration customers over the past year, according to Terri Schoenrock, director and global managing principal of the Enterprise Application Services Program Office for HP Services Consulting & Integration.
