Indeed, maybe even shoring up the whole SOA take-up argument. The reality is that it's not too difficult to label IT projects as SOA (especially internally, where they are unlikely to be subject to any kind of SOA-compliance scrutiny). In fact, it is not too difficult to even have some justification for so labelling projects. SOA, after all, is often an end-game which is proven only when an architecture is proven to be open standards based, re-usable and effectively modelled. SOA-labelling is definitely today's dot-com boom. I'm still waiting to see evidence of Businesses supplying the Organisational change drive in the kind of big buckets that will really drive take-up of SOA and the creation of truly agile Enterprises. Maybe I'm just not looking in the right places?
