March 18, 2008
Hyderabad, India; Philadelphia, USA; London, UK: AppLabs, the world’s largest independent testing, quality management and certification solutions company has announced the results of the Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) survey it undertook to showcase the growing interest in SOA adoption across the IT industry.
The research sampled IT professionals from Fortune 500 companies, focused on four key areas of SOA – Planning, Adoption, Benefits & Risks and Quality Management and Testing issues. This analysis of the information indicates that there needs to be a fundamental shift in the testing approach towards SOA. The survey confirms the wide adoption of SOA in organizations and that it is fast becoming the default choice for integration for both internal and external business applications.
Graham Smith, Head of Client Engagement, AppLabs Europe said that “With AppLabs’ significant experience in the Service Oriented Architecture testing arena and 52% of IT companies unaware of the risks associated with implementing an SOA system, it opens up a huge market opportunity for us globally to implement the right quality assurance and testing strategies for successful SOA implementation to meet their business objectives”
“While 38% of organizations are already on track with their SOA implementation, 43% are still in the planning stage. The results clearly indicate the adoption of SOA for both technology and business reasons. As experts in SOA implementation, we look forward to working with these organizations to help them seamlessly adopt SOA as an integral part of their IT landscape” added Doc Parghi, Senior Vice President, AppLabs USA.
