The SOA Forum Survey on Governance
This survey was conducted online in May of 2007. Responses were solicited via email from the 1,300 members of The SOA Forum industry consortium. These constitute primarily Fortune 500 companies, large enterprises and Government Agencies that reflect both early adopters and mature implementations of SOA. The SOA Forum members are representative of the SOA market as a whole, representing both ends of the maturity curve.

- Of companies with 50 services or more, 46 percent report that half of their services are not reviewed for compliance at all before moving into production.
