Organizations are adopting service oriented architecture (SOA) in an attempt to reduce cost, mitigate risk, improve efficiency, and increase agility. But many organizations are finding it difficult to realize these benefits and deliver a significant return on investment. This presentation will discuss the challenges that impede SOA adoption and provide suggestions for strategies that can mitigate risks and improve success rates.
