Every revolution throughout history has been the result of an evolution
-- evolving thoughts, needs and capabilities. The move to services
thinking is no different.
In today’s world, services oriented architecture (SOA) proposes more
reusability across enterprises, which decreases development effort,
time, and cost. These benefits can help organizations as they face
budget shortfalls, are required to implement new systems and policies
quickly, undergo more scrutiny, and are pushed to be more efficient.
However, this concept is not just for software anymore. The same concept
may be applied to business processes within organizations to gain
efficiencies, decrease costs, and increase flexibility.
