غالبا ما يتبادر الحديث ضمناً عن دور ومستقبل التطبيقات البرمجية المؤسسية عند الحديث عن البنية القائمة على الخدمات (SOA). ففى الواقع فإن زاب ثينك (ZapThink) تتحدث منذ …
Is there a Future for Enterprise Software?
The conversation about the role and future of enterprise software is a continuous undercurrent in the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) conversation. Indeed, ZapThink’s been talking about the future of enterprise software in one way or another for years. So, why bother bringing up this topic …
Who’s Architecting the Cloud?
As the hype cycle for the cloud computing continues to gather steam, an increasing number of end users are starting to see the silver lining, while others are simply lost in the fog. It is clear that the debate over the definition, business model, and benefits of …
Cloud providers answer the tough questions
Some EC2 integrations are more complex, he acknowledged, particularly when there are abstraction layers. “It may take custom development work to use EC2 or other services in a way that a developer wishes.” He added that he does not believe that a metadata API exists for describing Amazon services.
Amazon’s Elastic Block Store service, which runs on top of its virtualization infrastructure to abstract the underlying storage resource, does not adversely affect application portability, said ZapThink managing partner Jason Bloomberg.

According to David Linthicum of ZapThink, enterprise architects must plan for SaaS. “Many Global 2000 enterprises could find that 20-30% of their enterprise applications are SaaS-delivered and need to function like any other enterprise system, working and playing well with others — users, legacy systems etc.” Meanwhile, Beagle Research Group points out a major reason why SaaS has infiltrated the enterprise, suggesting the traditional software paradigm is in serious trouble. “Application development has become complex and expensive to the point that it presents a serious impediment to business growth,” it says.

typically don’t plug my Webinars here, but there is a very interesting one I’m doing on Thursday (tomorrow)…Leveraging an On-Demand Platform for Enterprise Architecture. This is an essence the talk I gave at Dream Force last week in San Francisco. I’ve gotten some good feedback from that one.
What’s cool about this the paradigm shift.
