Review Service Orientation Market Trends Report: Predicting the Future of XML & Web Services / ZapThink, LLC:Key Points: ZapThink sees a consolidation of most SO functionality into a single market category that can be delivered as individual products, product suites, or service offerings that contain broad functionality, including features that are currently associated with the security, management, process, integration, and tools segments. We call that market the SOA Implementation Framework market. The total SOA Implementation Framework market opportunity will go from $4. 4 billion in 2005 to $43 billion by 2010. The big winners from the shift to Service Orientation will be large vendors who are able to leverage the innovation of the smaller players to build fully functional SOA Implementation Frameworks. New entrants will find opportunity in adding value to these large vendors’ products, or by finding opportunity in the gaps between their solutions. Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review Service-Oriented Architecture Consulting Report: Facilitating the Service-Oriented Enterprise / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Today’s professional services firms are struggling to find their long-term value proposition in environments that are in constant change. There is a significant opportunity for PSOs in the short-term for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. As Service-oriented process tools mature, system integration will no longer be a separate activity, but will be subsumed into the process orchestration and choreography activities within the Service-oriented process tools. The business process design, optimization, and execution consulting market will come to displace the system integration market. System integrators will find the low-level integration work diminishing as their customers adopt SOAs, and therefore will need to transition their skills to the Service-oriented process arena to avoid having their market erode substantially. There is a significant opportunity for consulting firms in the next five years for helping companies implement and adopt SOAs, and in the long-term for providing critical business process expertise. Total SOA architectural and process consulting revenues will surpass those from system integration by 2006. System integration revenue by professional services organizations will decrease by over 70% by 2010, while Service-Oriented Business Process consulting will increase 20-fold in the same time period.

Review US Enterprises Use Security As a Crutch To Ignore IP Telephony Operational Issues:The Yankee Group 2005 Economics of IP Communications Survey looked closely at how North American enterprises prioritize deployments of IP telephony (IPT), conferencing applications (audio, video, web) and other forms of IP communications. Because most organizations will deploy IPT as the underlying foundation for other forms of IP communications, the survey asked several questions to reveal the breadth of IPT adoption (that metric will be a leading indicator of how fast other forms of IP communications will be adopted). At first glance, the survey indicated broad strength for IPT: 85% of the respondents have either tested or deployed IPT. Digging deeper, the survey shows that a paltry 7% of the respondents have deployed IPT across the entire company. The majority of enterprises (75%) have IPT in only a few locations. The survey also investigated, among many things, the factors that continue to inhibit the wide-scale rollouts of IPT. Past Yankee Group research indicates that the primary inhibitor was uncertainty about the cost/benefit aspect of IP communications. We believe there are other operational issues directly related to TCO that must be examined for costs to come down and deployments to gain traction.

Review Service-Oriented Process Report: Meeting the Requirements of Business Agility through SOA-Based Business Process / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Service-Oriented Process is Key to Meeting Business Agility Requirements Service-oriented process includes orchestration, choreography, composition, workflow, transactions, and collaboration of Web Services. The market for Service-Oriented Process solutions will grow from $120 Million in 2003 to over $8. 3 Billion by 2008. The standards landscape will converge on a single choreography, orchestration, and process flow specification in the next 12-18 months. By 2005, over 70% of Web Services implementations will be process-driven. Services must be developed devoid of process in order that they can participate in an SOA that meets the goals of business agility Service-Oriented Management techniques can assist in managing discrete services as well as end-to-end business processes.

Review XML Proxies Report: XML-Aware Network Appliances and Firewalls / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: XML Proxies are hardware or software solutions that actively listen for XML traffic on the network and either pass it along unmodified or perform some action on the XML content. XML Proxies can operate transparently as an XML "gateway" or as auxiliary applications on the network. ZapThink estimates that XML represents less than 2% of all traffic on the enterprise network in 2002; however, this percentage is expected to increase to almost 25% of all LAN network traffic by 2006. Current firewall and proxy solutions are inadequate to handle XML traffic. Instead of being simply network protocol-aware, XML Proxies are XML-aware. XML Proxies are capable of examining traffic at the content level, and can optionally handle other message types such as HTML or EDI. XML Proxies will converge on a single set of functionality for handling corporate-wide XML security, management, routing, transformation, and performance enhancement. As XML Proxy solutions become increasingly visible in the corporate IT environment, "established" Network Appliance vendors will enter the market. XML Proxies can also allow users to implement XML and Web Services solutions without having to constantly modify those applications to comply with various corporate XML policies. The increasing need to gain more value out of the XML documents and traffic on the network will drive adoption of XML Proxy solutions. [+]Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review Service-Oriented Integration Report: Using Web Services and XML to Integrate Systems / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Service-Oriented Integration (SOI) simplifies system integration by providing a single, simple architectural framework based on Web Services in which to build, deploy, and manage application functionality. The SOI market is expected to grow from $435 million in 2001 to about $6. 2 billion in 2006. The top three EAI vendors have over 43% of the overall EAI market. With the entrance of Microsoft and other vendors in 2002, this landscape is expected to change. Web Services isn't an integration technology, but a distributed computing technology that lends itself well to being used in integration scenarios. In a Web Services context, there really is no difference between EAI, B2Bi, and Data Integration. SOI solutions allow users to get a greater level of interaction and granularity with components deep within the application. SOI faces challenges in immature specifications, insufficient reliability, security, and transaction control. Microsoft and IBM have made strong entries into this space that will be a challenge for other providers of SOI solutions. [+]The potential ROI realized by adopting Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) far outweighs the slight benefits an organization gets from using Web Services as simply a "better API" for accessing application functionality. Integrating systems between two businesses is not only a technological problem; it requires pre-existing business relationships between the companies. Table of Contents: I. Report Scope II.

Review Counterfeit Software Is Counterproductive:If there is one issue upon which all software vendors are in total accord—and it may be the only issue—it is the damage wrought by consumers and corporations that knowingly or unwittingly use counterfeit software. The headlines invariably and almost exclusively focus on the issue of counterfeit software from the vendors’ perspective: legitimate revenue lost because of illegal software. Stories also abound of lurid punishments that range from true-up costs, fines and even criminal prosecution and jail time that potentially await end-user perpetrators when and if they get caught.

Review XML in Financial Services Report: The Whats, Whys, Whos and Hows / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: Financial Services role as a high-value information sector with the pressures of integrating complex, heterogeneous systems, the movement to "T+1" processing, and financial document preparation makes adoption of XML in the near term highly likely. The Financial Services sector spent over $195 Billion (US) in IT in 2001, with $985 Million invested on XML technologies in 2002. Expenditures on XML technologies in the Financial Services sector will grow to over $8. 3 Billion by 2005. Financial Services will seek to implement integration-centric XML approaches first, and content-management approaches second. The industry's focus on Straight-Through Processing and integration challenges will constrict IT budgets to XML solutions that specifically address these points. Budgets will greatly expand in late 2002 and 2003 for XML-based projects XML-based Content Management and Single-Source Publishing can reduce up to 75% of total publishing cost The proliferation of XML-based formats for Financial transactions will cause unnecessary headaches in the short term. Consolidation around the ISO 15022 specification is expected. Toolset immaturity and the impact of B2B and Web Services standards will impact Integration efforts and possibly make some XML specification efforts redundant Financial Services companies should seek to implement XML and Service-Oriented Integration to simplify STP and integration projects Financial Service Providers (FSPs) will need to have significant resources to invest in XML-based tools and technologies in 2002, although these needs will drop off in late 2003 as tools and technologies mature.

Review XML and Web Services Security Report / ZapThink, LLC:Key Findings: The next roadblock on the path to Web Services adoption is security. Security is today's key enabler for Web Services. The XML and Web Services security market will reach $4. 4 billion in 2006, which will represent 65% of the total authentication, authorization, and administration security market. This growth represents an average compound annual growth rate of 300%. Web Services offer great potential for B2B communication and integration, but the lack of robust security and manageability solutions currently inhibit the ability for companies to conduct business with each other via Web Services over the Internet. The combination of adequate funding, solid business models, seasoned management teams, and high quality engineering staff leads some startups to offer surprisingly robust XML and Web Services security solutions. The best positioned companies to be profitable in the XML and Web Services security space are those companies that already have deep technical knowledge of application level security technologies, coupled with a solid customer base. There will be a spike in demand for Web Services security solutions within the next 12 months. Web Services will not play a major role in transactional environments in 2002-2003. [+]The 2003 timeframe won't see many multiple-company B2B Web Services, because companies will choose to implement B2B Web Services on a point-to-point basis. Existing 3A security vendors will incorporate XML and Web Services into their product lines, so by 2006, most 3A security products will support or provide XML and/or Web Services security. This report must be placed into the context of an overall security strategy. Simply securing all of a company's Web Services alone can only provide a false sense of security. Enterprises must institute policies that apply to their entire enterprise network (including participants invited from outside), and administer that security in a hierarchical fashion.
