SOA-style solutions, alternatives, and practical experience: Educause 2008

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a standards-based design approach for creating an integrated IT infrastructure capable of rapidly responding to changing needs.

SOA is not a product; it’s a method of designing systems—in effect, the architectural drawings or blueprint—that directs how IT resources will be integrated with each other. SOA also manages which (and when) services will be available. SOA promotes better and more efficient alignment of your IT resources with your institution’s goals.
