Survey Background
When: October 06 – May 07 How: Online survey form Who: 67 respondents
50% government, 50% private Relatively small sample, particularly given the size of
government IT. Also a self selecting sample of people primarily associated with
SOA for e-Gov. Need to be careful about drawing any detailed conclusions.

No big surprises here. Government organizations tend to be more cautious; being prudent with the tax dollars. Not necessarily a bad thing. But may affect the readiness to adopt SOA if it is seen as too new and experimental.

This question is important. SOA adoption is an enterprise level commitment that needs senior executive level support. But do they understand it enough to support it?
Over 50% disagree, only 25% agree. Indicates a limited understanding of SOA at the decision making level.

Information Technology Professionals in my organization understand the technical requirements for implementing a SOA

Actually, 40% having developed a business case isn't too bad at this stage, given that we are relatively early in the adoption cycle. But what about the 60% who haven't? Are they working on something or can't they identify the business case?

This is difficult, but important. Services are going to be shared across traditional departmental boundaries. The beneficiaries will often be those outside of the organization unit that develops the service. Who is going to pay? Services will not be built without funding.

My organization has adopted a formal methodology or process for implementing an SOA
Another measure of organizational readiness. Traditional software development processes will need to be modified for SOA. Are we ready?21%

Small agreement, but probably not unexpected. Governance policies more likely to follow the decision to adopt SOA, so I wouldn't really expect full governance policies at a relatively early stage in the adoption cycle.

Summary
Key Findings about SOA in the Federal Government Need to improve understanding of SOA at executive level Technical readiness for SOA emerging, but can be enhanced Business case for SOA needs to be better developed Funding models that support shared services are immature Agencies need to start addressing SOA development process and
governance policies SOA education is rated as important, but not a high priority
Next Steps Develop white paper [IAC SOA Committee] Apply lessons learned from the EA adoption experience to SOA adoption
[work with IAC EA Committee] Continue to share survey results with the IAC and SOA CoP community
