Understanding SOA

Think big. Start small. Scale fast.

The road to SOA can be the road to greater return on investment (ROI), reduced operational costs, and increased business agility. Or, it could be the road to creating yet another expensive and cumbersome layer of infrastructure.

	SOA is not about integration, it is about reuse. Integration projects connect systems once, but a SOA supports connectivity and reuse for the life of the system.
	SOA is a network of universally reusable services. In a SOA, IT assets exist as services that can be consumed by any business process without custom work and without vendor lock-in.
	Getting there from where you are. Anything is easy if you start with a clean slate, but the reality is that you have to focus on existing IT investments and critical business processes.
	Divide and conquer. Service-enable systems one at a time. Localize the work at the endpoint, avoiding large upfront investments and corporate-wide commitments.
