If it involves SOA great but it doesn't have to and in fact,
should not always do so.
I've been doing integration for 25+ years and it's not really
changed. Yes, I know that is a cliche but it's simply true.
Look at the poor end user today. Still using DOS apps, Still
using mainframe apps, now using GUI, JAVA, Web, Adobe,
Silverlight.. ALL RICH FAT clients in disguise (Browser). Our
economy was built on these techs and they work. Doesn't
matter if they are served up as SOA or subroutines. As long
as there is re-use when it's needed.
Perfect what we have (all those techs above) and help the
Business end user first and then IT can do what they like.
