SOA Predictions
As a company that’s been in the thick of many an SOA project and holding a passionate interest in, QAT offers its friends and clients the following status of and predictions on the future of SOA:
- Most organizations are not at the full-functioning SOA stage yet. They are still managing a JBOWS (Just a Bunch of Web Services) environment, and will be at this stage for a while.
- The SOA Paradox: The organizations that are adopting SOA often don’t really need SOA, and ironically the organizations that could really use SOA the most are not likely to be adopting it anytime soon.
- SOA, SaaS, and open source will give rise to application vendors that follow the “Dell” model – assemble components to order; don’t make them yourself. SOA, SaaS, and open source will also provide opportunities to sell pieces of applications, on demand.
- Vendors will lose interest in the term “SOA” – prepare to hear more about next-gen solutions, such as Event Driven Architecture or Enterprise 2.0.

User Interface Design in Software Applications
While much of our attention today is focused on designing applications for the web, there are still many times when a project is strictly designed for the desktop. Designing user interfaces for desktop software applications is not the same as designing applications for the web. These types of applications are often very complex, critical to business processes, and heavily used making facilitating user adoption and utilization critical. One of the biggest factors in how well software applications are adopted and utilized is how easy the user interface is to understand and use. Ease of use is directly related to how similar it is to other applications they already know, if it reflects the real world, and how much feedback it provides throughout its use.
