Subject: Re: [soa-rm] Fwd: [TechRepublic] SOA model for enterprise apps
I would like to capitalize on the momentum we have to complete the RM
quickly, so it can be applied sooner than later. Respectfully, I think
that it would be foolish for us to "slow down" to accomadate members who
cannot devote a serious amount of time to this effort.
Thanks,
Matt
