Businesses are gearing up to adopt service-oriented architecture (SOA), citing tangible benefits resulting from a more agile and responsive IT infrastructure.
Two-thirds of silicon.com's 12-strong CIO Jury IT user panel said they have already moved to or are planning to move to a SOA platform in the next year.
This follows a benchmarking report from Aberdeen Group this week that said 90 per cent of organisations have adopted or are planning to adopt a SOA - although it warned doing so can eat up 40 per cent of a company's IT budget.
