"We had Internet time 10 years ago," recalls Dana Gardner, principal analyst of Interarbor Solutions LLC. "People thought: Wow, things are changing fast, but we seem to be getting back to that frenzy where if you don't move quickly you could be left out. What happened to software and the Internet 10 years ago is the harbinger of what we can expect for many more types of companies in the next 10 years."
Gardner is looking at how SOA may transform the companies where it is implemented and how it may change the relationship those companies have with their consultants ranging from small systems integrators to the big-time business management firms.
