I've had a bit of a graphic spurt (as it were) and so here's another blog post based around a diagram. I was talking to a journalist a couple of weeks back about the kinds of functionality that customers need to look for when looking for tooling for SOA initiatives, and which vendors provide which groups of functionality.

Mark Hall talked to iTKO's John Michelsen (the guy who writes most of this blog) about a constant theme near and dear to our hearts. And we'll keep talking about it until they are not exactly the same.
Clearly, a trend at this conference is that the architecture and design tool vendors that lived in the world of traditional enterprise architecture, have moved, or are moving into the world of SOA. These tools include Telogic, ...
