The Register’s SOA Survey published

The Register ran a “SOA - Beyond the Hype“ survey back in May and they have just published the results - they changed the tag line for the report to “SOA: Insights from the Front Line” for some reason (download the research report PDF).

The questions were quite high level and so the results are equally woolly. One trend in the results is that the self-proclaimed experts seem to be quite sure of what they are doing but the ‘others’ are not. Hmm, stating the obvious perhaps? A far more interesting question, the degree to which the experts agree with one another, was not tackled. El Reg seems to have a pretty well informed reader base so I’m sure there is something useful in there somewhere for someone.

The report was sponsered by IBM yet it doesn’t any WebSphere offerings (or any other vendor’s product for that matter). Poor value for money Big Blue! (It doesn’t mention ESBs or SCA either).
