Introduction
SOA products are experiencing high growth, but the market is still focused on a low volume of high-value sales to large enterprises. A very large number of vendors are competing for market share by aiming to offer the broadest possible set of SOA infrastructure, targeting not just the runtime environment but also the analytics, governance, development and modelling.

Driven by competitive pressure and the eventual saturation of the high-end market, SOA technologies will start to become commoditised. The tendency for user organisations to deploy SOA to underlie tactical projects as an alternative to making a long-term strategic commitment to SOA will also have a commoditising effect, and will provide a viable market for some of the smaller vendors that focus on a particular niche. This will also influence the types of features that users will look for in evaluating products.
