How do people start using Web services and SOA?
The next step or phase of adopting web services and SOA is where you start doing what we call “service oriented integration.” This means that you now have services that are becoming interdependent or at least are called sequentially. Here BPEL might come into play and more fine grained end-to-end security is frequently a requirement. Management also starts to become an issue, though we (the industry) don’t yet have the web services standards complete and implemented in this area. This hasn’t stopped companies like Amberpoint from providing some early solutions for management.
