Leo: From the title of the Schumacher book Small is beautiful <= /a>. Although the practice of SOA ranges from very high-level governance pr= actices to complex technologies, the reality is that small, simple technolo= gies that facilitate integration seem to prevail. Examples:
Rich: Often we can be very self-critical and this should be taken into a= ccount when we look at the low scores around SOA maturity
