In his opening keynote address at SOA World 2007 West in San Francisco, Software AG Deputy CTO Miko Matsumura challenged an SOA World audience to make service-oriented architecture core to their enterprise operations over the coming year. Citing the transformational success of earlier adopters, Matsumura argued that current laggards risked ceding an insurmountable advantage to their competitors if they did not accelerate their adoption of SOA.
He also urged attendees to look beyond today’s often artificial litmus tests for architectural purity in order to embrace a more pragmatic and evolutionary approach to SOA adoption.
