Globalisation, tighter economies, business process outsourcing, ever increasing regulatory environments and knowledgeable consumers are forcing the large enterprises to transform the way they provide their business and services. Businesses are required to be agile and flexible and IT managers are being asked to deliver improved functionality while leveraging existing IT investment. In this climate, Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is proving to be an attractive approach to Enterprise Application Integration and other solutions that they seek. SOA promises better alignment of IT with business, effective reuse, interoperability and reduced costs of development. However, like any approach, it has its limitations and therefore posses a number of challenges. In this paper, we introduce the SOA approach, present the benefits it offers and discuss the inherent issues and challenges. The objective is to provide enough background information that enterprises wishing to embark on the road to SOA have a better understanding of this approach.
