ASIA PACIFIC LAG IN SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURES, SAYS ORACLE. Check it out:
(Bernama The Malaysian National News Agency Via Thomson Dialog NewsEdge) from BERNAMA, The Malaysian National News Agency KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 4 (Bernama) -- The new Oracle Grid Index IV report shows that 33 percent of organisations in Asia Pacific (APAC) have no plans for a service-oriented architecture (SOA), a modern technology that enables the information technology (IT) department to serve business needs more efficiently
Compared with this, only 5-10 percent of organisations in US and Europe have indicated the same and the region's competitive SOA position appears grim, Oracle said in a statement here today
Oracle said that the research also showed that APAC lags in the actual adoption rate of SOAs with only five percent of organisations polling in APAC have implemented an SOA compared to Europe (10 percent) and the US (20 percent)
Underlining the low adoption rate in APAC is the large number of organisations (85 percent) with little or no working knowledge of SOAs while Southeast Asia has the lowest awareness of SOA with 87 percent stating they have no awareness
"The awareness and education gap for Asia Pacific seems especially dire as companies cannot adopt what they don't understand nor implement with any confidence of success," said Clive Longbottom, research director, Quorcica
He said that the research also indicated that Asia Pacific organisations however valued all the benefits that SOA can bring, but simply lacked hands-on experience
Oracle is the world's largest enterprise software company
The Oracle Grid Index is designed to map global progress on the journey towards Grid Computing
