Moving to SOA isn’t just about implementing new technologies, defining interfaces and creating services. It’s also about creating, fostering and enabling a more collaborative development process and collaborate technology environment that most organizations are used to.

Or, more appropriately, it requires a rededication and realignment of the traditional development lifecycle. Especially when it comes to capturing the benefit of reuse.
