omies of scale will drive down prices of SOA components arebeing sold as libraries of code modules available as a service at a unit module costfrom $800 to $7,200 in 2007. SOA is increasing IT flexibility at the same timeunit component prices decrease. IBM continues to be the defacto industry standardmarket leader in SOA. The financial and healthcare industries are the earlyadopters of SOA technology.SOA engine markets relate to of its infrastructure middleware that provides theability to consolidate integration modules with foundation architecture.

SOA engine markets are primed to grow from $1 billion in 2006 to $3.7 billion forthe license software, with the services doubling those markets by 2013, thisaccording Susan Eustis, President of WinterGreen Research, the lead author of thestudy. She continued, Markets have such significant growth because middlewareinfrastructure is used to extract reusable components of code from existing stacksof software functionality or to create reusable components of code, making IT moreefficient. Wintergreen Research is an independent research organization funded by the sale ofmarket research studies allover the world and by the implementation of ROI modelsthat are used to calculate the total cost of ownership of equipment, services, andsoftware.
