Column 2

I wrote back in July about CentraSite, a standards-based SOA forum and a freely-available product for SOA registry, repository and other functions. This week, I received notice that CentraSite is now launched (I guess that I was playing with beta code before), and that there will be a number of blogs hosted on the site to talk more about SOA. It will be interesting to see how this plays out; it has Fujitsu and Software AG behind it, and there’s obviously been a lot of work put into the product, but I don’t have enough experience with this class of product to tell if it’s a potential winner or not.
