Web Services Technology Companies
August 25, 2004
I have been giving some thought to what companies sell technology to support Web Services, or, more broadly, Service Oriented Architectures. I have put together kind of a strawman taxonomy of the vendors, and have begun discussing it with some of the vendors. This is still prelimary, and does not reflect any of the feedback I have received thus far.
One consistent bit of feedback I have received thus far is that I should differentiate more between “platforms” and “tools.” I will give this more thought.
Any thoughts out there?
