Research group Frost & Sullivan said SOA technologies had matured, with all major software vendors had been altering and creating software to suit the needs of an SOA framework, making the architecture a viable goal.
“The Asia-Pacific SOA market is poised for healthy growth as large enterprises across all verticals are adopting SOA-based solutions for their business related issues,” Frost & Sullivan research analyst Harikrishna Subramanian said.
“SOA offers solutions that optimize current business processes and efficiently plan future software adoptions of enterprises that are looking for continuous process improvement with clear visibility of the processes,” Mr Subramanian said.
Frost & Sullivan says large enterprises want to build more coherent IT infrastructure, driving demand for SOA. The potential for problems with enterprise IT projects tended to increase depending on the length of time since the organisation’s first IOT deployment, the number of software modules and size off the enterprise.
The increased complexity of software modules had increased the cost of implementing enterprise IT, the Frost report says, with SOA offering companies a way to reduce cost.
The report says the much greater penetration of Web services among enterprises in the Asia Pacific was also encouraging SOA deployment.
However, Frost & Sullivan says the low awareness of SOA and its potential benefits for an organisation had hampered market growth.
“Enterprises are shying away from implementing full-fledged SOA-based solutions mainly due to limited IT budget and time constraints. Vendors must focus on educating clients about the benefits of SOA and showcase best practices in order to draw up an efficient roadmap for SOA implementation,” the report said.
