The awareness of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) benefit as an IT enabler is now extensive. There is a growing and widespread acceptance of SOA technology, especially in large enterprises. Today at least 90 percent of the companies are on their way to adopting SOA, said Aberdeen Group in a recent survey.
SOA and web services are two different things, but web services are the preferred standards-based way to realise SOA.
According to Evans Data Corp.’s latest Web Services Development Survey, this year the percentage of functioning Service-Oriented Architectures (SOAs) has almost doubled.
