In periods of fiscal uncertainty, enterprises operate with much greater caution when it comes to major IT projects and expenditures. However, the notion of abandoning long-term Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) plans due to immediate cost concerns counters the SOA opportunity itself, which specifically represents a model for streamlined IT and business operations.
This research note explores the following:
- The importance of positioning SOA as a strategy, not an IT project.
- Conveying the long-term benefits and efficiencies delivered by SOA.
- Adapting SOA plans for greater flexibility in uncertain economic times.
In a tough economic climate, IT leaders may be forced to reposition specific SOA project components and near-term objectives. However, they must also communicate to executive leadership that deserting SOA plans indefinitely could have dire implications for the future competitiveness of the business.
