| History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce, according to Karl Marx. Is software as a service a tragi-comic re-run of the application service provider (ASP) model - a lovely idea that didn't work in practice?

Seamless software
Evaluation Centre's overview of the service oriented architecture (SOA), web services and enterprise integration software market...There are many obstacles to developing and providing new IT systems, but the biggest challenge – mentioned by 73% of respondents to our latest Evaluation Centre survey – is integrating new applications with their existing legacy systems to deliver additional value and enhanced functionality.
At one time the word ‘legacy’ was synonymous with old mainframe applications, but now it really refers to almost any existing IT system. These systems and services have been built up over many years as new business needs are identified. As a result, applications are of different ages, use different programming languages and technologies, reside on different hardware platforms, use different operating systems and provide very different functionality.important’ to 45% of our survey respondents and ‘important’ to a further 43%. All in all, the integration of IT systems is viewed as a pressing, ongoing requirement that is continually exacerbated by business reorganisation, mergers and acquisitions and the need to react swiftly to market changes.
But while meeting the demand for inhouse integration and flexibility is tough enough, there is now a growing need to look outside the boundaries of the business and provide interactivity with clients, suppliers and business partners. view in full >> |
