I was wandering that probably that a given “architecture” is efficient and cost effective not for the technologies(from a tech-only point of view!) that it uses,but from the processes it uses.

Think a about a common scenario like deploying a new server: if this process is 15 days long because we need to fulfill some absurd process steps,in the end the OS of the deployed platform does it really can change the “weight” of the process?(Maybe you can’t deploy a new server because you need a license…so your process is “bounded” by the technology chosen…)

For sure the tech-stack you choose have to support your architectural-processes(in the tech-point of view of course,but not only), but probably if the process are agile and effective the technologies used are less central.
Today we see the technology stack as the central point because we adapt the processes to the technology and not vice-versa, and probably old technologies embody old processes and way of thinking.

Is time mature for a POA? is Process Oriented Architecture the evolution of SOA?

(..In my heart I’m always a buzzword lover;))
