The next multi-agency SOA architecture that is successfully and cost-effectively deployed will be the first one successfully and cost-effectively deployed. For that matter, how many true CORBA (or similar OO solution) architectures have been cost-effectively implemented to serve multiple organizations?
After all, SOA is basically just a re-marketing of the same old ideas that sounded absolutely awesome in doctoral dissertations and self-adulating IT academics. But when it comes time to implement outside a lab, these architectures become immensely complicated to manage, spawning cottage industries (like SOA's wonderful three-headed spawn, UDDI - how much does a commercial UDDI v3 server license cost, hmmm?), and forcing programmer retraining (ah hell, let's just off-shore it instead!) to deal with a maze of concepts that are really just the same as older concepts, but have to be renamed so that there is an appearance of some sort of improvement from the older concepts.
Please, let's step away from the altar of fad technology and just put together something simple that works.
