Define "Service-Oriented Architecture"...

I think SOA is pretty much just a new buzzword for something we've
been doing for years so don't get me started :)

Mostly people mean Web Services, in which case, yes, we do a lot of
Web Service stuff.

Mach II is a good solid framework for your applications but it cannot
expose Web Services. What you will probably end up with is:
- Business Tier (CFCs)
- Web Service Tier (CFCs)
- Mach II UI Tier (CFMs and some CFCs)

The Mach II tier can either call the business tier directly or use the
aggregated web service tier (but calling the CFCs directly, rather
than as web services).
