Even if I agree we're still just at the beginning of a new wave, we do have some customer request for a Data Services Platform. I think things are going in the right direction now. We now need solid technologies to make Data Access easier in SOA. Thank you for your note Jill.

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.
