Research and Markets has announced the addition of “SOA Project Services: Vendor Strategies” to their offering.
There are few topics that generate more excitement within the IT industry today than SOA.

There is debate over what exactly constitutes a SOA implementation, but as we note below, the enterprise that actually make substantial material steps in what they define as a SOA journey remains a minority.

We assess the strengths of many of these products in our Software advisory service.
