SOA Adoption: Technology Diversity AcceleratorsAlthough it is no surprise to say that technology diversity drives adoption of service-oriented architecture (SOA), Forrester's survey data shows patterns in the use of development platforms, development languages, and application platform vendors that affect how rapidly certain IT segments adopt SOA. For example, enterprises with four or more application platform vendors have significantly higher SOA adoption than enterprises that use three or fewer. Small and medium-size businesses (SMBs) that use three development platforms have significantly higher SOA penetration than those using only one. By finding the patterns that match their organization's technology environment, architects can bolster their case for SOA with industry adoption numbers that correspond closely with their peer organizations' adoption rates. |

The 2008 Service-Oriented Architecture Software Market LandscapeThis Market Services Report from AMR Research makes the point that "While most of the attention in the SOA market has been on the suites offered by major vendors, none of these are truly complete, and customers have more alternatives than what lies on the surface." The authors note that tools for SOA enabling such existing IT assets as legacy applications, messaging systems, and databases are now available and will play a crucial role for companies that can't afford to rewrite their systems from scratch. Regarding the Progress Software SOA Portfolio, they report, "Progress remains committed to being the independent choice for infrastructure. The company has assembled a portfolio of SOA products to address the most common integration challenges customers and software vendors face." Progress meets its customers' needs with independence, interoperability, and best-of-breed functionality. "Whatever the success of the big SOA suite vendors, there will always be a market for best-of-breed products like Progress." |

Breaking up the Stack - The SOA Strategy of Progress SoftwareThis Butler Group White Paper shows the breadth of Progress Software's SOA portfolio and the unique manner by which it delivers these technologies to the marketplace. "Progress takes a refreshingly pragmatic view of the SOA market, recognizing that for most organizations (and certainly for most large and very large enterprises) the SOA infrastructure will itself be heterogeneous, either by design or by evolution and necessity. It provide its solutions in a form that can be readily implemented to enhance an existing SOA implementation, providing missing elements, or potentially replacing elements that are a less than optimal fit with the requirements of the organization." |
