Here's the third in our series of interviews with SOA vendors. This week it's the turn of Roman Stanek - one of the founders of Systinet, which was bought by Mercury (which was then in turn bought by HP a few months back).
The 31'17" interview has some great stuff in it. As we ask our
usual four questions about HP and Systinet SOA offerings, we swing past:
- scenarios where the standardisation and interoperability that SOA introduces are particularly important
- how SOA is about outcomes, not protocols (with reference to the SOAP vs REST debate)
- how SOA wil disappear from the IT industry's lexicon in the coming years, because it will become a standard feature of the IT landscape
- the effect that SOA has on the software development lifecycle, and how the loose coupling that it introduces into development organisations and processes brings requirements for strong management of service lifecycles and service quality.
