In an effort to speed implementation of service-oriented architecture among its customers, IBM today announced 11 new products and 20 enhancements to its WebSphere-based software as well as beefed up consulting services to be rolled out over the next six months.

IT is also looking at SOA for connectivity and application reuse, he said.
