It is "all about the data" is the response to this blog post by Joe McKendrick on ZDNet
I couldn't have said it more eloquently than as described below:
"The data is a pivotal piece of an SOA (most IT approaches, really), and is often under-served by SOA initiatives and projects. Data is diverse, duplicated, dispersed, dirty, and just generally chaotic. You need to rationalize it into meaningful business information for the rest of the architecture to work well. This is the data abstraction layer that Ash mentions. This is not an ESB, but rather a data services layer that feeds an ESB and other components in the architecture."
In my previous posts and in the webinar that this post refers to, I have stated that SOA promises to deliver business agility by breaking down barriers between silos of applications, and by reusing business services. However, in speaking to a number of customers and prospects, it is becoming very clear that if the data stuck inside silos is bad, is stale, or is inaccurate, it does not matter if the most elegant architecture or technology is used. Data is at the heart of the modern enterprise and as pointed out in the referenced blog, data integration is the "pivotal" piece that can ensure the availability of accurate, consistent and timely information.
