Open source middleware: the time may be ripe
One topic I bring up a lot at this blogsite is that of market disruption. Typically, when new technologies or products hit the market, they cater first to high-end, high margin businesses. Eventually, new players come in with more commoditized solutions at lower price points that serve the unserved part of the market, and, lo and behold, eventually move up the food chain.
This is what’s been happening with SOA. And no where is the market disruption — commodity solutions chasing high-margin solutions upstream — more in evidence than in the open source-SOA realm.
