Once upon a time, I worked for a company called James Martin Associates (JMA). In 1991, it was acquired by the Texas Instruments software division, which built and sold CASE tools.

In 1997, Texas Instruments sold off the software division, and a number of us left the company. David Sprott and Lawrence Wilkes set up the CBD Forum (later CBDI) to address a growing interest in component-based software engineering. The Forum provided advice to technology vendors as well as user organizations, ran meetings and published a monthly journal. For many years, I contributed regular articles to the Journal. With the emergence of Service Oriented Architecture in the early 2000s, the focus shifted to SOA, but the name remained the same.

In 2006, the CBDI Forum merged with Everware, an American consultancy specializing in Enterprise Architecture. I joined the team on a full-time basis for three years, providing consultancy and developing materials and training on SOA methods and implementation.

Lawrence died in 2017, and David has now retired. Everware-CBDI is still operating in the USA.

At the time, the Journal was available to subscribers only. However, Everware-CBDI has now released most of the Journal archives, with over seventy of my articles written between 2002 and 2011, as well as hundreds of further articles by David, Lawrence and others.
