Perspective Summary:

As Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) market adoption continues to grow (slowly but surely), a variety of SOA roadmaps and maturity models have emerged to help guide users and vendors. Unfortunately, virtually all attempts thus far have tended to be too one-dimensional and simplistic to be effective.

Optimally, a maturity model should:

	Provide a comprehensive method for assessing SOA attainment
	Prescribe the “next steps” in a SOA roll-out
	Show how to achieve higher levels of maturity

The next generation of models and roadmaps could be powerful tools to accelerate SOA adoption, effectiveness and acceptance – if they reflect the complex realities faced by users and vendors pursuing SOA development.

This Strategic Perspective will help readers identify which types of future models will increase the likelihood of SOA success. We will identify potential components of next-generation maturity models, including an assessment of IBM’s ambitious work-in-progress. And finally, we will explain why the “must-haves” of next-generation models – security, metrics, and organizational readiness – are so important.
