As Gartner notes, approximately half of all 2007 major projects in the world were made on SOA. According to analysts, 60% of organizations will adopt the approach, and by 2010 it will be used in 80% of new systems. IDC forecasts that corresponding software expenses will constitute 11 billion dollars.
Whereas 2007 was the year of pilot projects giving an opportunity to customers to test SOA efficiency when developing and using business applications, the year of 2008 will witness double increase in SOA-related expenditures and further development of the most successful projects as customers are willing to implement the technology into business processes.
Experts at SAP believe that SOA is a perfect option for companies that previously had to choose between standard ERP solutions and pricey custom ones. Still with all its advantages (flexibility in changing business processes, service security and reliability, cuts in operational IT costs) SOA is not a panacea for all technology integration problems a company may face.
Expert forecasts concerning SOA advancement in Russia are pretty optimistic. Up to 70% of projects will use SOA in 2008 and at least one of the reasons for this is that all the current middleware platforms some way or another already use SOA at present. Various verticals demand SOA implementation however only a few, Finance and Telecom, have mature enough IT processes and sufficient budgets to start off with SOA.
Forrester analysts expect leading software providers will spend the next couple of years on developing more dynamic applications with better support of cross-functional business processes. Although the demand for SOA is growing, they will have to find new ways to promote their business applications. Hopefully SOA will be a more promising and long lasting trend than all the previous technological tendencies as the focal point of SOA is business but not technologies.

The low phase that has set into the IT sector is no longer news. The fall in US economy was a major blow to the IT world all over the world. In countries like India where you can find a software development company on every nook and corner are rapidly closing down because of lack of work. What is to be seen is the strategy formulated by the big fishes such as Infosys and Tata. The current situation is of uncertainty and fear as companies are sacking employees, something that was unthought of a few years back!
