SOA and SaaS
by Julie Craig, Senior Analyst, EMA
What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) was still early state. A scant twelve months later, SOA has entered the mainstream and the question of SOA's viability has largely been resolved. Software as a Service (SaaS) has come a long way in the past year as well. During 2007, SaaS has become a significant force in the marketplace. One differentiator not often discussed is that many, if not most, SaaS platforms are built using SOA services.
Looking for an SOA success story? SaaS companies like Salesforce.com are among the best advertisements for SOA. SaaS vendors are also leading-edge in terms of the ways they are leveraging their SOA assets to open up their platforms to customers and partners.
