SOA, RIA and the Human Factor

This was an interesting article by Yakov Fain in the SOA World Magazine, dated 6/29/07. http://soa.sys-con.com/read/396343.htm
He points out that there are three main reasons an organization implements an SOA:

1. The Chief Architect attends a conference and wants to enhance his resume.
2. The CIO attends a conference and wants to expand her resume.
3. You have money to burn and it sounds cool.

All in all, I like the way Mr. Fain thinks.
