As a pioneer in evangelizing SOA and its benefits in the global market place, IBM has witnessed increasing interest from customers towards SOA adoption in India. Intense competition, rapid advancements and heavy scaling especially in the telecom and banking space is driving companies to be nimble which in turn is facilitating the adoption of SOA. IBM is currently working on making IT architecture SOA-enabled with Bharti , DLF , BSNL , Delhi International Airport and State Bank of India to name a few.

Commenting on the announcement, Jai Menon, Head- Business Innovation initiatives, Bharti said "SOA is an ideal solution for companies to innovate and bring new offerings to the market faster. For companies to realize maximum benefit from SOA, it is important that they approach SOA as a business model and not as a technology requirement. Increased SOA skills, a better understanding of how and when to start SOA is the need of the hour. IBM's initiative in enabling the ecosystem on SOA skills will surely go a long way in increasing the SOA adoption in India".

The Center will provide a venue for customers and IBM Business Partners to see SOA solutions in action through SOA proof of concepts to demonstrate the potential benefits of SOA in a customer's existing IT infrastructure. The Center will also help address SOA skills through relationships with local universities. Through these relationships, IBM is helping to shape the curricula and provide opportunities for students to develop the proper skills to succeed with SOA in their chosen fields when they enter the workforce. Local students can have the opportunity to serve as interns at these centers, work hands on with technologies that support SOA and attend education sessions delivered by IBM experts.
