What is SOA?
SOA (service-oriented architecture) is a broad framework within which enterprises build, deploy,
and manage services; these services are coarse-grained application components that can be called
upon by other applications using standard protocols. The primary objective is a more agile
application infrastructure that responds swiftly to shifting business demands.
