If nothing succeeds like success, service-oriented architecture (SOA) is poised for victory, according to a new "State of SOA Adoption Survey" conducted by AmberPoint Inc., the SOA governance vendor.

But for the future of SOA in troubled economic times the most important findings were that 38 percent of respondents said SOA met all of their goals, 60 percent said SOA met most of their goals, and only 1.5 percent reports that their implementation was not successful.
