SOA Middleware Starts Where Web Services Leave Off

Tags:
middleware

Overview Aberdeen analysis of approximately 400 companies over the past 18 months has shown a deep division between organizations that are deploying web services based applications, what one calls SOA Lite, and those that are building out full SOA middleware infrastructure. With two such different software investment profiles, one expects to see significantly different success. Organizations that are focusing on SOA infrastructure are outperforming those that are deploying only web services. They are realizing lower application lifecycle costs, better throughput for projects, and higher levels of user satisfaction.
