This is a special blog that combines the input from many of the SOA product and services experts at HP Software. Our team here is dedicated to helping you get the most out of SOA. We concentrate on a specific set of challenges that SOA presents.

We think that the most difficult parts of SOA are figuring out approaches to the practical challenges of how to re-use services. If we’re ever going to be successful with SOA, we need to be good enough at it that it’s a normal way of doing business. Sounds easy, but the challenges are everywhere, and they run deep.

So, let’s hear your comments on our points of view as they come up. Get engaged and tell us when we’re wrong or when our experiences don’t match yours. Or refer us to other posts that might eloquently illustrate a point of view. Working together, we really can get SOA to be the new IT architecture.
