Thanks for the mention but when the EDS blog quoted me I wasn't sure whether they were celebrating the point or being critical of it. All I know is that our clients are hungry for data and the concept of "data as a service" is an appetizing one for them. But their IT departments insist on making SOA harder than it needs to be and we've actually watched several SOA efforts get "de-scoped" in the last several months. We've been coaching clients that data can be de-coupled from the applications and systems that use it, thereby providing a service to all of them. With some notable exceptions, at most companies it's an idea that's a bit ahead of its time.
