A new report has shown that firms are planning on investing more on service-oriented architecture (SOA), such as specifically tailored purchasing software.
According to a recent IDC survey, most respondents see SOA as highly significant components of their overall IT and business strategy.
Moreover, many of them will be looking to service vendors to assist them in implementing such an architecture and IDC says that it is vital these vendors demonstrate its benefits and seek to educate them and provide guidelines on how to use it.
Marianne Hedin, programme manager for SOA, explained: "Companies which will try to implement SOA on their own without any outside help from a services vendor will soon discover that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to successfully roll out a large or corporate-wide SOA initiative without considering the impact on the organisation and its employees.
"To help them tackle the various issues involving organisational change they will need a service vendor."
IDC's survey also showed that in most firms it is the IT department that has the most say on the nature of the SOA it adopts – and therefore on how web based requisitions are carried out.
