Hi Jack I agree with you that it is very hard, if not impossible, to convince people with a completely different agenda of the necessity of sound architectural decisions. But to my opinion, that should not be necessary! Every program or project should have some form of Design Authority that needs to give its blessing to the architecture under construction. Without the signature of the DA the program or project will not continue. This way of working gives the lead ITA the authority they have to have and prevents lengthy discussions. You're not a sales, after all, are you? On the other hand I'd like to warn you that an ESB is not the solution to all your problems in all cases. I have recently been involved in a project the goal of which was to replace a fully optimised 70% batch oriented mainframe application by a distributed SOA system, complete with ESB and process server, multiple loadbalancers, various pieces of software. In this case the advise of the lead architect should have been "DON't DO IT!", that is not for the whole application - only replace those pieces that lend themselves to interactive service oriented processing! This would have saved all parties many nightmares!
