The 2013 research “Services Oriented Architecture (SOA) Middleware Market Shares, Strategies, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2013 to 2019” of 606 pages having 213 Tables and Figures says worldwide on SOA middleware markets are poised to achieve significant growth as the SOA systems provide the base for cloud computing and support the use of smartphones for transactions and collaboration. SOA is useful for addressing the need for flexible systems, the need for adaptation to mobile handset presentation of information, and the need for marketing analytics.
Easy-to-install software and limited up-front investment is a business requirement driving the move to cloud computing where resource is paid for as needed. SOA has been widely adopted by the 18,500 large enterprise organizations worldwide because it meets the integration criteria needed by lines of business. Significant SOA implementations are expected to be upgraded in the very large enterprise customer base as enterprises work to achieve data center elasticity that provides flexible response to changing market conditions.
There are another 14,800 emerging enterprises, companies with annual revenue between $300 million and $2 billion, expected to continue to build out SOA implementations. SOA provides modules of code that can be reused in different ways as market conditions change.
SOA markets are anticipated to reach $15.1 billion in 2019. This represents significant growth. In 2010, WinterGreen Research had SOA markets at $4.0 billion, by 2012 they had reached $7.1 billion. Growth has been achieved organically because more frameworks are needed to build cloud computing and more infrastructure is needed in the data center to interconnect applications using middleware. Systems that were classified as data center infrastructure are now reclassified as SOA.
SOA, mobile development , big data , API , cloud computing , framework architecture, enterprise architecture, mobile, and infrastructure tools are used to implement business-user-friendly data integration. coupled with embedded storage and computing layers (typically in-memory/columnar) and unfettered drilling — accelerates the trend toward decentralization and user empowerment of BI and analytics, and greatly enables organizations’ ability to perform diagnostic analytics.
The key factors which should be in place for a cloud implementation of SOA are virtualization, reusability of services, governance procedures, security control systems and processes and an understanding of pricing of services as they are consumed over cloud.
Cloud computing amplifies SOA’s impact. And the converse is also true, i.e., having SOA helps deliver better and a wider variety of services using the cloud environment. A case can easily be made that the ROI from cloud can be better and investment recovery can be much faster if SOA is used in designing the architecture.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the foundation for modern transactional systems. As the Internet extends transaction systems to real time, SOA has been invented to extend the transaction systems appropriately. SOA supports the evolution of Internet based real time e-business and end-to-end business process integration. In the next decade, the same SOA principles will be at the core of a new era of business engagements that transact at Internet scale across locations, devices, people, processes and information.
