Product Description

This Financial Insights report examines the adoption of services oriented architecture (SOA) in Canadian financial services organizations. The report examines the importance institutions place on SOA as an IT strategy, the drivers behind adoption, the scope and magnitude of current and future projects, and planned investment in SOA-related software and services.

“SOA adoption has been sluggish in the Canadian market,” reports Patricia Howell, senior analyst, Canadian Financial Advisory Services. However, our recent research suggests that Canadian banks and capital markets firms have seen the compelling value proposition that SOA deployment can bring to their respective businesses and are prepared to act.”

A new class of presentation layer is emerging to solve a range of user interface challenges. Users are demanding a rich client interface to Web Services that provides an end user experience similar to client/server applications, with a rich graphical user interface, responsive performance and highly interactive functionality. The goal of this emerging rich client solution is to provide the optimal combination of rich, low-cost interaction through standards-based distributed computing.

Curl is a veteran to the market of rich client solutions for distributed Internet applications. The basis of their solution is their own runtime environment called Surge that provides an executable environment for the Curl language. Curl also provides a language that supports a rich set of user interface capabilities that users can extend to provide additional functionality, from simple macros to direct control over the positioning of subcomponents.

Product Description

This IDC study assesses the market opportunity for software revenue driven by service oriented architectures (SOAs) in 2004 and presents a forecast for 2005–2009. Historical and forecast revenue data is shown for the total worldwide market, along with segmentation by primary software market. This study does not contain vendor-specific revenue, market shares, or vendor profiles.

“SOA has had a viral impact on the IT industry at large — to a much greater degree than institutional adoption has incurred thus far. But ‘innovation in moderation’ has been the mode of many enterprises, and SOA-based initiatives are no exception. Those that indeed have made headway proceeding down this path have for the most been pleased with the results thus far and fully acknowledge that it is hard work. However, more robust implementations that stand the test of time need to occur to truly gauge how disruptive this trend will truly bear out to be,” said Sandra Rogers, program director for SOA, Web Services, and Integration research at IDC.

Product Description

This study examines the SOA competitive landscape from a services perspective by profiling and then comparing eight major service vendors on IDC’s Leadership Grid. “Each service provider has been on its own SOA journey for many years and has developed an increasingly sophisticated response to the changing market needs around SOA. The service vendors have matured significantly in their ability to provide SOA services since IDC evaluated them a few years ago, yet this maturation has not happened in the same way or at the same pace. There is still a great deal of variability among the various vendors which makes it an especially intriguing and interesting industry to watch,” states Marianne Hedin, research manager, IDC Worldwide Services Research Program.

Product Description
This is a study of the ways in which changing social expectations among Indian Catholics confronted the Roman Church with new questions, as well as giving fresh urgency to the old problem of the persistence of caste among Christians. Low-caste restiveness prompted different reactions among European missionaries and high-caste Indian priests, and the socio-economic significance of religious conversion became a problem that reached the level of the Apostolic Delegate, and eventually of the Pope. The English brought their social attitudes to India, where they became racial attitudes while retaining their triple functions of supporting authority structures, protecting vested interests and providing psychological reinforcement, Roman Catholic missionaries came from different European countries and brought with them different national attitudes to social mores. A major question asked in this book is how far such national differences were reflected in attitudes to caste, class and sexual behaviour, how similar were the attitudes of Indian Christians, and how far the functions of such attitudes remained constant.
