Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an information system architecture style that enables applications to communicate with and take advantage of each other, no matter what platform they are built on or what language they are written in. Typically, applications available within organizations have unique characteristics, are coded in different languages, use different programming interfaces and protocols, and run in different operating environments. Doing away with existing applications and installing new ones is not an economically viable option. Organizations need to leverage existing investments in IT infrastructure to address changing business requirements. SOA is the answer.

SOA enables re-use of existing technology silos by treating the functionalities within them as services, and enabling the creation of new composite applications that leverage these services. SOA has a loosely coupled architectural design in which an application's business logic or individual function is modularized and presented as a service. Communication between a service and its client is through self-describing platform-independent interfaces. The objective is for clients and services to communicate and understand each other, no matter what platform they run on. This enables the client to avail a service from anywhere, on any OS, and in any language, and allows enterprises to plug in new services or upgrade existing services to address new business requirements.
