Peter, Vis SOA x EA - for BCM we looked to take a technology neutral view. So at a minimum this should be enterprise architecture. Notice this has allowed BCM to stay relevant 5th years on. Also I think SOA is a much more limited world view, and enterprise architecture is essential for completeness. And there is plenty of work we can reference from OASIS and more sources on enterprise architecture so we do not need to reinvent the wheel. In fact we should be providing glossary of resources and references of good work we feel can be instructive and insightful in the overall decision making processes. Plus overall - I thought the whole strategy was! business emphasis rather than technology fixes - and hence it is better to let governments determine their own tactical technology needs - while pointing out the need for a strategic view and hence the long term importance of enterprise architecture - to ensuring stability, reuse, interoperability and longevity in any solutions. Thanks, DW
