English term or phrase: You begin with the idea that [SOA] is bigger than a bread box.
The high concept of SOA (service-oriented architecture) continues to enthrall IT. Yet SOA’s promise of universal application integration is vague at best, confounding anyone who takes a closer look. Such scrutiny reveals major gaps -- in reliability, security, orchestration, legacy support, and semantics.
Peter Underwood, vice president of software development at brokerage firm Wall Street Access, says his team has had to do some serious thinking up front before planning SOA integration.
“You begin with the idea that [SOA] is bigger than a bread box. In other words, it’s just a framework,” Underwood says. Although SOA “has taken on a life of its own because of Web services” standards, Underwood believes a significant gap remains between Web services’ potential and its current capabilities.
