It has been a number of years since the Open Group created a working group for
SOA. This working group has just published
OSIMM, which stands for the Open Group Service Integration Maturity Model. This allows you to measure a company's maturity with respect to
SOA. It sounds a lot like the
CMMi maturity level for software development.
The top level in the model is
SOA with dynamic service composition. And the bottom level is essentially No
SOA.
Unfortunately I think our project is at the bottom of the heap. We currently do not implement any
SOA just yet. There is some talk though. And we will be processing XML input this upcoming year.
