Service-Oriented Architecture Consulting Report: Facilitating the Service-Oriented Enterprise»rank: 5900588by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Key Findings: Todays professional services firms are struggling to find their long-term value proposition in environments that are in constant change. There is a significant opportunity for PSOs in the short-term for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. As Service-oriented process tools mature, system integration will no longer be a separate activity, but will be subsumed into the process orchestration and choreography activities within the Service-oriented process tools. The business process design, optimization, and execution consulting market will come to displace the system integration market. System integrators will find the ... |

While there are many management products on the market that enable IT personnel to manage Service providers, Infravios X-registry is one of the few products on the market today that also allows for the management of ... |
Testing Web Services Report»rank: 5900588by: ZapThink, Jason Bloomberg
: :Key Findings: Web Services promise to fundamentally change the distributed computing landscape. This new landscape will present new testing scenarios and problems that companies using Web Services don't currently understand. Todays enterprises that are dabbling in Web Services arent inquiring about or requesting testing solutions. The whole concept of a software development lifecycle will fall by the wayside as companies realize the advantages of orchestrating loosely coupled Services into coarse-grained business Services.
