SOA governance refers to the processes used to govern adoption and implementation of SOA. [Anne Thomas Manes]\u201d  The Gartner report ranks companies involved in creating technology tool sets for SOA Governance.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a short list.  18 companies are reviewed by the report, ranging from well known players like Software AG, IBM and HP to less well known companies like Vordel and Logic Libraries.  The striking thing about the mapping is that shows most companies clustered just to the right of center of the chart.  Companies are showing &#8216;vision&#8217;, but could be stronger in their &#8220;ability to execute&#8221;.  With so many companies active in this space and with no real standouts, it seems likely that this space will see continued consolidation.<\/p>\n<p>The report ranks the \u201cLeaders,\u201d \u201cChallengers,\u201d \u201cVisionaries\u201d and \u201cNiche Players&#8221;, and summarizes the vendors strengths and weaknesses. The report is a good tool for trying to understand what&#8217;s happening in the SOA Governance space.<\/p>\n<div class=\"lightsocial_container\"><div class=\"lightsocial_element\"><a
