SOA is something you do...

...and not something you buy!

If you only remember one thing from the BEJUG workshop on SOA then it should be this. And if you didn't go to this workshop: make sure you can go next time, because it was worth it:-)

But seriously, all too often do people buy a product and then start to look at how to use it, say, to build a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture). This is like buying a car: would you get a rolls royce first, and then pick the road to drive it on? Or would you rather look at the road first, and then choose the best car for it? I would do the latter...
