LiquidHub Not Slowing Down

While many companies are going through hiring freezes as a result of the current economic upheaval, LiquidHub has a different point-of-view as remarked on here. Mr. Jonathan A. Brassington, CEO of LiquidHub, had this to say:

Inspite of the cautious global business environment the company has a robust order pipeline and is hiring aggressively both in the US and in India. LiquidHub sees a great opportunity in the current downturn based on its Enterprise Architecture philosophy where clients can "do more with less"

What philosophy is your organization subscribing too? Is Enterprise Architecture helping to whether the storm?

Growth of SOA in India

Business Standard mentioned today, in this article, that India is expected to have the “fastest growing SOA market in the Asia-Pacific region”. Springboard Research has predicted that this market will have a compound annual growth rate of 49% from 2006 to 2009. Many organizations are already starting to seize this opportunity. Intelligroup, one company interested in this growth rate, believes that 20% of the “larger SAP customer in India” will be adopting SOA within the year. Liladhar Bagad, practice head of Intelligroup, released this statement as a means to explain this growth:

“As organisations become more global, SOA will become an integral part of their strategy. It is aimed at lowering the total cost of ownership, simplifying integration and customisation. Organisations are increasingly embracing SOA as a means to access and distribute information in real time”

It is cautioned, however, that organizations need to be aware of disappointment that some companies may announce. As Chandika Mendi, director and head of Virtusa Corporation, explained

“The reason for the disappointment will be due to taking a much narrowed approach while defining SOA, which could lead to failure of implementations. Also, the initial investment in SOA is high and will reap benefits slowly as the entire enterprise moves to it, which is a fairly long journey,”
