Summary

Enterprises are increasingly hearing that service-oriented architecture (SOA) will provide flexibility to meet ever-changing market demands and business requirements. Because clients will not gain the full business benefits of SOA until they understand the value of SOA and how to integrate it throughout their firms, they will hire consultants to assist. To help North American clients understand the state of the SOA integration market, Forrester evaluated leading consulting and systems integration firms across 39 criteria to understand how these firms are approaching the SOA landscape, judging service capabilities, client experiences, investments in SOA, and delivery resource training. Included in this report is an interactive provider comparison tool that provides detailed evaluations and customizable rankings.
