 Top Drivers for SOA adoption"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>The results of a <a title=\"Survey of SOA adoption by Hurwitz and Associates\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hurwitz.com\/index.php?option=com_content&#038;task=view&#038;id=219&#038;Itemid=58\" target=\"_blank\">survey<\/a> taken in October 2006 by <a title=\"Hurwitz and Associates\" href=\"http:\/\/www.hurwitz.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Hurwitz and Associates<\/a> shows the following four items as top reasons why companies are undertaking SOA initiatives:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Reuse of software services across the enterprise<\/li>\n<li>Business Flexibility<\/li>\n<li>Ease of Integration<\/li>\n<li>Speed of Integration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>But while software reuse is cited as a top reason for creating Web Services within an SOA environment, the survey notes that reuse is often difficult because enterprise communication of available services isn&#8217;t happening.\u00a0 47% of those surveyed had some dissatisfaction with their current implementations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Less than 50% of those surveyed who are actively creating Web Services are also using UDDI or some sort of service registry.\u00a0 Reuse was also hampered by lack of planning and not clearly articulated business goals.<\/p>\n<p>The survey included 99 IT executives from companies in the United States and UK with more than 250 employees who were interested in SOA and Web Services.\u00a0 They called these companies the SOA &#8220;journeyers&#8221;.\u00a0 Of these 66% had begun an implementation of SAO.<\/p>\n<p>The survey and report was sponsored by <a title=\"Mindreef\" href=\"http:\/\/www2.mindreef.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mindreef<\/a>, maker of SOA and Web Service products.\u00a0 A
