What is service oriented architecture - SOA ?

In this changing business climate, where globalization and demanding customers require agility and flexibility, retailers' IT systems are not helping them in meeting these expectations. Most of the legacy retail systems were built following tightly coupled point-to-point integration principles. Service orientation offers great benefits in moving from these legacy systems to more flexible and agile systems.

· SOA is a design philosophy independent of any product, technology, or industry trend.

· SOAs can be realized using Web services, but using Web services will not necessarily result in a SOA

· EDI, CORBA, and DCOM were conceptual examples of SO.

· SOA is not a methodology.

· SOAs are like snowflakes: No two are the same.

· SOA should be incremental and built on your current investments.

· SOA requires tools, not consultants.

· SOA is a means, not an end.
