BUT….Companies are becoming buriedin an avalanche of unstructured,undisciplined data
• Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) expresses a perspective of software architecture that defines the use of services to support the requirements of software users.
• Unlike point-to-point architectures, SOAs comprise loosely coupled, highly interoperable services. These services interoperate based on a formal definition (or contract) which is independent from the underlying platform and programming language (e.g., WSDL).
• “An SOA is the big picture of all the business processes and flows of a company. It means businesspeople can visualize, for the first time, how their businesses are constructed in terms of their technology.”
• “An SOA is the blueprint that guides the development of the integration layer and its two major components:
messaging infrastructure and services.”

Linking Processes with Web Services: SOA
The days of gigantic one size fits all program are over. System architects can seamlessly link major business processes of a company together using XML and XML technologies.
XML (XBRL), SOAP, Web Services, can all be “trained” to discover applications and business processes, execute commands and apply meta-data to the core business facts.
What if..
Instead of applications, businesses used data as the center of their information gathering universe?
