We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
In many cases, the end of the year gives you time to step back and take stock of the last 12 months. This is when many of us take a hard look at what worked and what did not, complete performance reviews, and formulate plans for the coming year.

This next-generation business application infrastructure makes today's enterprises agile and adaptable through its modular and flexible architecture.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g includes the industry's first native Service Component Architecture (SCA)-based SOA platform and designer, which enhances developer productivity via rapid assembly of new composite applications and unified deployment, execution, and management; simplifying application development.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g delivers a complete, integrated and hot-pluggable SOA platform that enables next-generation business applications by simplifying service access, integration, orchestration, Complex Event Processing (CEP), monitoring and management.
New capabilities include Native SCA Designer, integration of Event Driven Network, Multi-Dimensional Business Process Management, centralized governance and security policies, and cross-application, end-to-end instance tracking.
Native SCA Designer: helps improve developer productivity through drag-and-drop features and fosters collaboration between business analysts and IT developers with a composite application blueprint.
Integration of Event Driven Network and Services Capabilities: enables simple development of event-based applications with rich graphical tooling on top of underlying asynchronous messaging protocols.
Unified Business Process Management: supports unified human, system and document-centric processes.
Business Rules: integrated business rules engine with business-friendly, decision table-like design interface makes it easy to express and modify rules on business processes.
Complex Event Processing and Business Activity Monitoring: Delivers real-time business visibility via monitoring, filtering, correlation and analysis of business events across the enterprise.
Cross-Application, End-to-End Instance Tracking: Integrated management within Oracle Enterprise Manager provides out-of-the-box visibility and audit trails across distributed, composite processes and applications.
Centralized SOA Governance and Policy Management: simplifies asset management and discovery, promoting re-use and helping to eliminate costly missteps through integrated impact analysis.
Oracle SOA Suite 11g is certified with, and provides the leading adapters for, Oracle applications (Oracle E-Business Suite, Oracle's Siebel CRM, Oracle's PeopleSoft Enterprise, Oracle's JD Edwards Enterprise One) and is the preferred solution for integrating with both Oracle and non-Oracle applications.
Unified SOA Platform Enables Lower Costs, Improved Efficiencies and Increased Visibility
The unified platform for system-centric, human-centric and document-centric processes significantly simplifies the design, development, management and monitoring of critical business applications.
To ensure customers extract the most value from their existing IT investments, Oracle SOA Suite 11g is architected to support Oracle and non-Oracle application servers, including Oracle WebLogic Server, IBM WebSphere and RedHat JBoss.
The CEP capabilities within Oracle SOA Suite 11g help customers detect patterns and trends in real time, providing the business visibility, via Oracle Business Activity Monitoring (Oracle BAM), needed to capitalize on emerging opportunities or mitigate developing risks.
