Appears the big days of large Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) may be coming to an end.
(Just as we are looking to put together a formal overarching architecture for Navy Medicine!)

One of the hopes of SOA was to be able to offer systems that would easy work together with one another. The goal was to prevent "vendor lock in". (No longer would we be held prisoner by large health care applications that would not work with easily with other vendor's applications).

It appears the current state of SOA has gotten too big and often leads to large SOA suites being sold-not really able to fulfill the intention of SOA.

To help bring back agility and flexibility to SOA companies are now offering SOA hosted applications. This has helped IT shops utilize SOA without having to have SOA experts in house. Hosted SOA is in its early stages but promises to offer a valuable service for many organizations.
