Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) for Federal Agencies – Beyond the Hype
(
PRLEAP.COM) Rockville, Md. — Federal market research and Federal contracts intelligence provider fedXccel is reporting significant increase in Federal Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) initiatives. There are over 20 major Federal programs with an explicit SOA requirement that collectively represent a budgeted spend of over $430 million in Fiscal 2008. This represents an 84% jump over 2006-2007 spending.
“SOA provides Federal Agencies with the Next Generation Technology Framework to implement the vision of e-Gov,” said fedXccel President Izzy Feldman. “SOA in many ways is Internet3 that allows the Government to implement interoperable processes, reduce redundancies and deliver new services.”
A recent Gartner report indicates that 50% of all “new mission-critical operational applications and business processes designed in 2007” are likely to use SOA and this number is expected to grow to more than 80 percent by 2010. The visible rise in SOA requirements in Federal IT programs seems to reflect that general industry trend.
“Federal IT Vendors and Government Technology executives need to start traversing the SOA learning curve as more and more systems are touched by this new way of building Information Systems,” said Dr. Bob Deller, Research Director at fedXccel. “We see the 2008 SOA requirements as a precursor to larger programs in coming years and it is critical for both industry and government professionals to understand what it takes to build a SOA solution and that is the reason we decided to invite IBM to share some of their experiences.”
