A service oriented architecture (SOA) platform is a technical solution designed by an enterprise to implement the transformation of the enterprise's infrastructure into reusable services. In effect, the company designs its own platform, using existing applications, in-house development, and third-party products as required. Several major vendors offer SOA suites, but an enterprise can and ordinarily should take elements from various vendors in assembling its own SOA platform. That this can be done is shown by the experience of major companies, and by the success they report in taking this approach. Often an enterprise will benefit most by beginning with what it has, while planning for growth along SOA lines.
