• Key Selection Criteria
  • Breadth and Cohesion of Portfolio
    • Interoperability between SOA suite constituent products within a SOA suite is critical, as is the breadth of that suite – something constantly evolving to meet market needs.
  • Deployment and Administration
    • An array of pre and post deployment tools focused on provisioning, installation, configuration, monitoring and management is imperative to the successful installation of a SOA suite solution.
  • Geographic, Market and Customer Reach
    • International reach and the ability to delivery solutions that meet geographic and vertical use cases is essential for SOA suite vendors. Horizontal use case solutions are also considered, as is the ability to target both SMB and large enterprise customers.
  • Interoperability and Standards Support
    • Absolute compliance with predominant SOA standards tops customer expectations, given the heterogeneous nature of most SOA installations, which contain elements from multiple vendors.
  • Packaging, Services and Support
    • Because SOA suites cover a broad range of functions, it is imperative that their individual products be sold as standalone or together as product bundles. Flexible licensing options (including open source offerings), professional services and post deployment support options are also a must.
