14. Lessons learned on the path...
●
Open standards are a strong foundation
●
One size does not fit all
- variety of products implementing ESB pattern, service metadata management &
other facets
●
Things get easier
- years of experience in implementing SOA result in better understanding and
support of common patterns
●
Things get more dynamic
- towards a patterns-inspired declarative programming model via policy
decorations and SLAs
●
Connectivity and integration need (the right level of) governance
- dynamic programming models need governance counter-balance (control who
can affect what kind of change)
●
Towards ubiquitous Connectivity
- within business units, across the enterprise, between enterprises and into Clouds
