Project reviews coupled with a greater understanding of SOA deployment is vital if systems integration is to be successful.
During
an address to a group of IT professionals in Sydney, Gartner analyst
Matt Holte shared recent findings from Gartner’s SOA research and
answered questions around investment justification.
“People
are asking ‘how do I justify an investment in SOA? How can you link a
set of application measures to a set of practical measures?’ The biggest
barrier to SOA is cost justification and budget. Bigger than skills,
innovation and legacy systems,” Holte said.
