It is impossible to discuss Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) without a common understanding of service-oriented concepts. This paper defines critical concepts that are necessary for engineering managers to make business decisions relative to SOA or SOA-related investments. Managers often have limited understanding of SOA, and for some reason, technologists seem to have difficulty explaining the concept using terminology and analogies that managers can understand. This paper addresses the long-standing communications gap between managers and technologists as they attempt to evaluate how SOA or SOA-related investments can add business value.
