Why Enterprise Architects Continue to Fall Short with SOA
If you read this column and listen to my podcasts, you know that I call SOA what SOA is - an architectural pattern. In many instances, SOA is a vital component of healthy enterprise architecture. Indeed, I've provided some keynote talks around this very topic at about half-a-dozen enterprise architecture conferences to date. However, generally speaking, the enterprise architects out there still don't 'get' SOA, and they continue to do a poor-to-average job of creating enterprise architectures that...well...support their enterprise.

I think you have soooo hit the nail on the head. As the leader of the EA organization in a major federal agency, I found that moving this kind of change is very difficult, particularly if you care about continuing your career. It is very easy to fall back on point solutions that this project and that project want, and not get to the real core issues that are holding the organization back (often around data). |
