SOA's Gain Momentum

Service Oriented Architecture's - standards-based Web services with an additional level of loose coupling...

I keep seeing more hype about SOA's and I've already begun to take the concept for granted. In using MySmartChannels I've come to love the fact that the application's federation of components can act as a unified tool like when you log into the public experience application, or it can act as a discrete collection of micro-functionality for specific purposes.

The unified application is handy for users that need process and workflow for dealing with information, whereas the components are very helpful in debugging, quick tasks for power-users, and of course, assembling new applications.

If you're interested in understanding SOA's simply get a MyST account and play with the platform. Give me a shout and I'll walk you through some power-user links that will open your eyes.
