IBM this week went live with its first consolidated SOA portal, offering Best Practices, business cases and based self-assessment tools. Company execs also say a series of on-going SOA pilot programs will feed into the portal, as the pilots yield new SOA proof-points.
At present, IBM’s SOA portal, available at www.ibm.com/soa, includes first-generation SOA Best Practices and deployment patterns for IBM technologies, customer examples, and analyst views on IBM and non-IBM SOA, Sandy Carter, IBM’s vice president of strategy, channels and marketing for Websphere told Integration Developer News.
