According to new IDC research, an understanding of service-oriented architecture (SOA) is becoming increasingly important, especially among the companies familiar with it, and more and more Western European companies are planning to invest in the solution in the future.
"IT vendors should focus on elevating the level of understanding of SOA as, once SOA familiarity becomes widespread across an organization, it rapidly becomes an essential part of its IT strategies," said Giacomo Laurini, senior research analyst, IDC's European Vertical Markets group.
