Software vendors didn't learn how to let go of keys. Especially a lot of software or solution providers try to sell their customers into ever so much deeper data silos. A SOA strategy depends on a lot of architectural expertise from very different sides, focally aligned for specific but interdepedent solutions.

But what is a great orchestra with some classy notes without the conductor? Andrew,
