SOA in Tough Economic Times

This week, I attended our biggest annual conference - Symposium in Orlando. Understandably, a lot of the talk at the sessions and in the hallways was about the news in the financial markets, a tightening economy, and potential budget cuts. Gartner launched a useful little microsite tackling a lot this called IT and The Economy.
This got me thinking about how tough economic times will affect one of the central themse of the AADI Summit - SOA. My inclination is that many of you will be asked to put more meat behind your business cases and re-confirm that SOA efforts are worth pursuing in a time of tighter budgets. In some cases, the answer will actually be that SOA efforts should be put on hold, but in most cases that would be a big mistake. I would urge all of you to check out Anthony Bradley's session entitled Finding the Value in SOA, which tackles this discussion head on with some phenominal advice backed up by a very powerful tool.
