In a recent interview, Gartner’s Paolo Malinverno, reflecting on the consultancy’s recent Application Development and Integration Summit, said interest in SOA is riding high, despite the recent economic slump. He also added that many companies are aligning their SOA strategies to be ready to go with new systems and business initiatives as the economy regains steam.

He added the “The rest aren’t under so much cost pressure, but are still preparing [their SOA strategies] now so they can be first out of the blocks when the [economic] downturn ends.”
