Oracle vs. SAP: Picking the right path to SOA
Oracle vs. SAP: Picking the right path to SOA: "'SAP's primary goal is to make sure that their applications are supported and their partners are supported,' said Forrester analyst R. 'Ray' Wang. 'Oracle's framework is definitely a lot more open in the sense that the standards adoption is much more open, but the applications being built on top of the middleware have yet to be proven.'
Wang added that for folks mulling SOA, it may not necessarily be a question of deciding which vendor's approach is best, but rather a question of determining how many SOA ecosystems they can support. For example, he said, large companies with many suppliers and partners may have to support two or three SOA ecosystems over the long term. "
