Consider many large and successful businesses today and the amounts they spend on their IT. Each of these companies started out as small and medium sized enterprises and are spending literally millions each year trying to undo the IT short cuts they may have taken in the past.
Large companies now see the value of a SOA and what it can bring them in terms of costs savings and business agility and so are attempting to convert or move their systems to such an architecture.
So the question really is whether your organization intends to grow and become larger ? If it does, as I would expect all would aspire to, why not get your IT right now ? Implementing a SOA as early as possible provides the foundations to enable your business to scale from an IT perspective in the same way that you expect it will scale in terms of what the business does.
Not implementing a SOA now will mean you incur costs and delays into the future when your business begins to get bigger; and the tactical, stop gap decisions you may be tempted to take with your IT now will come back to haunt you in the future. The SOA Gateway is a tool that can help you to implement a SOA in any size or scale of business.
