Last week I reviewed some SOA adoption statistics<\/a>.\u00a0 More stats<\/a> are out today from Quocirca<\/a> in the UK and they point to an interesting divide.\u00a0 It’s clear that on one side are companies in certain vertical industries, like Banking and Insurance, that have embraced SOA and are far along with SOA initiatives.\u00a0 Other areas like Government\u00a0are seeing much lower adoption rates.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0the Oracle-sponsored Quocirca study, analyst Clive Longbottom<\/a>\u00a0interviewed in April 2006\u00a01466 senior IT influencers and decision makers.\u00a0 179 were from the US, 721 from Europe and 466 from Asia Pacific.\u00a0 They came from medium to large companies across many vertical industries.<\/p>\n

Surprisingly they found that more than 50% of those on the business side were not aware of SOA.\u00a0 On the technical side nearly 25% responded that they were not aware of SOA.\u00a0 Understanding was highest in the US and lowest in Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n

\"SOA<\/p>\n

Interestingly, of those respondents who have worked with SOA, 90% viewed the technology as “highly important” or “critical” for their business.<\/p>\n

The Quocirca report concludes that once people come to understand SOA that they also come to understand the benefits that it can bring to their organization and become supporters.\u00a0 But the report concludes that\u00a0the process of SOA education\u00a0is one that will take a long time.<\/p>\n

As a followup to Wednesday’s post<\/a> about Steve Jones’ Enterprise SOA Adoption Strategies, Sun has a video<\/a> featuring Steve, Todd Fast from Sun, and Jerry Waldorf, also from Sun, discussing SOA development in a 20 minute video.<\/p>\n
