Over the past few weeks I’ve been talking a number of large enterprises about technology adoption trends, SOA and business process management. I thought it would be interesting to pull out an example of a company rolling out service oriented architecture to learn from their experiences and perspective.
The company under analysis is a large, multi-billion dollar technology company located in the United States. Like many technology companies, they have two important characteristics: 1) they’ve grown rapidly, and 2) they have a wide range of heterogeneous applications, including ERP, CRM and other packaged applications from a variety of vendors.
