IT workers looking for help with concepts like service-oriented architecture and enterprise applications interoperability recently got a boost from two newly formed professional groups. In February, the SOA Consortium emerged as a new organization with an ambitious goal: helping the Global 1000 succeed in implementing the SOA concept by 2010. The group's founding members already have some skin in the game. BEA Systems, Cisco, IBM, and SAP all market products based on SOA technology. Early consortium members include Bank of America and HP, as well as the Integration Consortium and the Object Management Group, two groups dedicated to promoting best practices and standards for enterprise integration, a central tenet of the SOA concept.
