Its not too surprising and has little to do with the technologies itself. It goes back to control and how an IT department perceives its role. We've all grown up in worlds where the IT department saw its role as the protector - keeping the technology systems safe from malicious hacking or careless end users. Enterprise 2.0 flies in the face of that thinking and SOA with its trendiness is a way to fight it. The irony is that Enterprise 2.0 and SOA aren't at two ends of the spectrum. They often go hand in hand. I’ve seen that cultural divide between SOA and Enterprise 2.0 firsthand. Its not too surprising and has little to do with the technologies itself.
