SOA Endorsed and adopted
Now that the Global Advisory Committee of the Department of Justice has fully endorsed the idea of using a service oriented architecture to enable justice information sharing, it has updated its strategic plan to support the implemention of SOA as the way to make integrated justice happen. There is little question that this approach to architecture is the right answer for the justice system, and the way has been paved by the rapid adoption of SOA by the major technology companies and by the commercial world in general.
But it must be noted that the magnitude of this paradigm shift in order to move most of the justice information systems to the point where they embrace and are built in a way consistent with the SOA framework is a huge task. The first step is making the giant leap of mentally migrating from where we have been to where we need to be in order to take advantage of this development.
James Kobielus writes in Network World about how much of a shift in thinking this is as the whole concept of platform dependent software development meets its death. He accurately describes the "dizzy new world of SOA" in which we will have to change the thought processes of developers and well as users of justice information systems.
Talk about disruptive.
