"BEA is taking SOA to its very core," said Paul Patrick, chief architect for BEA AquaLogic. "We're taking SOA into the heart of what we do [on] a day-to-day basis in the way we build products."
"Over 1,000 of our customers have SOA solutions in production," said Mark Carges, executive vice president of BEA's Business Interaction Division. BEA views business process management as a business driver for SOA, he said.
BEA's Bruce Graham, vice president of World Wide Professional Services at BEA, cited six initiatives crucial to SOA:
* Defining and capturing benefits.
* Establishing an enterprise architecture.
