Research has revealed that service oriented architecture (SOA) is turning out to be IT's "great white hope", failing to bridge the gap of understanding with business.
The survey, carried out by PMP Research, pours cold water on the idea suggested by some quarters in the IT industry that SOA can provide a common language for both business and IT people.
The survey sponsored by online software and services guide, the Evaluation Centre, draws its conclusions from the fact that the majority of business managers questioned have little or no understanding of SOA and the benefits it can bring.
