Web Two > The Fuzzy ROI of Innovation
[chief innovation officer, a blog about Foresight + Innovation] The first was an excellent podcast discussion on ebizQ between Joe McKendrick, Ronan Bradley, Dave Linthicum, Neil Ward-Dutton, and Elizabeth Book on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and concern that organizations are not realizing the levels of SOA “reuse” that they had expected and hence whether reuse should be part of the value or ROI/business case justification for SOA. The panelists make a number of important and insightful comments which I encourage you to listen to - but I would summarize one conclusion as follows: You only get value from reuse if you have business requirements that actually reuse the capability you have created.

[Ebizq.net] Ronan Bradley's Roads to SOA - ebizQ: It has often struck me as strange that while SOA is all about loosely coupling, the principle hasn’t often been extended to user interaction which after all is almost always at either or both the start and end of business processes. Instead even in a SOA environment, most enterprise users still interact almost all of the time with one application at a time through tightly coupled clients or browsers.
