Why SOA is the wrong approach
"SOAs address the workaday chores that corporate systems depend on, such as moving business data. A financial institution could, for example, move transaction information stored in its old mainframe to an Internet-based service that business partners could access. "

However if you want to manage your information properly, you shouldn't be duplicating it at all.

A technology that makes it easier to duplicate data is the wrong solution.

IBM and Sybase already have the technology to allow applications and users to view all underlying databases in an organisation as a single database, complete with query optimisation across the different platforms. Surely this is the way to go in the future for modern companies and not by data chase replacing paper chase?

Duplicating data always leads to trouble.

For a data administrator asserting the same thing is twice (which is what you are doing when you duplicate data) is a logical absurdity. Unfortunately marketing people believe that if you repeat nonsense often enough someone, somewhere will be gullible enough to believe it.
