Thanks for this comprehensive report. Working with SOA and other certification organizations may seem daunting at first. But it is an investment that is worthy of your business’ time and efforts. Having a certification increases your credibility in the eyes of your target market, and it also gives your business a clear set of standards to raise or maintain the quality of your products and services.
