Is SOA failing?
by David on Okt.08, 2009, under Software-Development
Just browsed accidentally over some article: http://www.davidchappell.com/blog/2009/08/is-soa-failing-2008-interview.html
I can out of experience say that yes, mostly the blocks are not technical but organizational.
But then how is SaaS / Cloud computing solving these things? If there are organizational issues hampering the software whatever success, then the conclusion should be for software developers to study psychology and become salesman.
Then software developers would then first sell their solution to some management and afterward bring their airy promises to reality. This sounds a bit ironic, but after being a programmer since 1991 I realize this fact more and more. In this I fully back the notion of how to be successful as a technical guy as in the podcast.
Now I don’t see how Cloud computing and SaaS would help! sure the approach is different, but again there are organizations having again the thumb on their domain of software carefully shielding it from reuse(misuse). The block is always an organizational or political one.
Is therefore SOA failing? Its failing as every technical approach will if it is not properly sold to all participants and agreed by them. Yes, but agreements are somewhat thin rather often. So its a question of selling a project and coming up with the power and endurance to succeed.
Hmm… Am I as software developer going to become a salesman or some lone fighting bull. So far I tend trying to be the first.
