Abstract
This study examines the SOA competitive landscape from a services perspective
by profiling and then comparing eight major service vendors on IDC' s Leadership
Grid. "Each service provider has been on its own SOA journey for many years and
has developed an increasingly sophisticated response to the changing market
needs around SOA. The service vendors have matured significantly in their
ability to provide SOA services since IDC evaluated them a few years ago, yet
this maturation has not happened in the same way or at the same pace. There is
still a great deal of variability among the various vendors which makes it an
especially intriguing and interesting industry to watch," states Marianne
Hedin, research manager, IDC Worldwide Services Research Program.
