Capgemini CTO on service infrastructure
I've referenced Steve Jones, Capgemini's snappily-titled CTO of Application Development Transformation, a couple of times in this blog. And now I'm going to do it again, because he's starting to behave rather like an analyst... and a good one at that. If he wasn't paid probably 5 times more than us at MWD, I'd ask him if he wanted a job....
Steve's started providing very quick, high-level assessments of service infrastructure offerings,
here and
here. He's started with the big software vendors (IBM, BEA, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Sun).
We're in the middle of a similar exercise - we've written
in-depth reports on IBM, BEA, SAP, Microsoft and webMethods. We're working on adding TIBCO, Oracle and Sun too.
But Steve is providing an interesting perspective using probably 0.1% of the words that we're using. So if you're interested in how a senior practitioner out there in the field rates the big boys when it comes to supporting SOA - check it out.
