One thing I found interesting was that SAP showed a slide that acknowledged confusion about SAP’s eSOA strategy. The reasons cited included:

- lack of clarity on SAP’s eSOA strategy and how it varied from the “agnostic” approach to SOA.

- lack of understanding of how SAP eSOA could provide a solid value proposition and justify the investment via strong ROI.

- a need for more information about how eSOA integrates into an SAP customer’s existing SAP installation.

I was impressed to see SAP openly acknowledging this confusion, and it seems clear that a major them of TechEd 2007 will be to clear up some of these issues and provide a better understanding of SAP’s eSOA roadmap. I guess in a couple of days we’ll have a better idea of whether SAP has pulled this off.
