* We have been doing "Service Oriented Integration" which has been
focused on integration rather than architecture
* Intel paper on IT business valuation for metrics that effect bottom
line: how many people, how many hours, etc
* biggest impediment to SOA is cultural and political, not technological
** the question for those not obsessed with technology is: what is
going to increase bottm line?
* business managers and leaders won’t understand SOA, developers are
beginning to understand and so are building it from the bottom up.
SOA itself will very seldom ever happen as a top down political
process.
* we *as humans* suck at architecture.
* enterprise architecture is completly different to application architecture.
** enterprise architecture is about reducing cost.
