Description: SOA is an effective way in which a company can integrate not only its diverse applications suite but also the business tasks and processes it carries out. The result is a more streamlined, flexible, adaptable, and hence competitive and effective organisation.

The success of SOA projects depends on adhering to proven methods and best practices. Since SOA is a joint business/IT environment, a key element to a successful SOA implementation is governance, that is, forming a decision rights structure of the IT organisation.
