Interesting comment-'SOA is a lifestyle' I just came out of an big program estimation mtg in which I was pointed that the SOA'ziation of program was an expensive life-style and how using 2007 technology we still need all those big hrs to build an system in which various GUI's consume services that we build as part of SOA.
It is easy to identify re-useable business services w/n an enterprise but it is much much harder to make sure they are conceptualized , design and coded to stay qualified as re-useable after the initial reuse discovery. Hence, long and expensive estimates and surprise to non-tech savy as to why it will take longer and more $$'s to do SOA'ization of business solutions.

BPM is something you do, not something you buy. Sounds an awful lot like SOA to me. I have plenty of examples of companies that have saved lots of money, improved time-to-market, and reduce application maintenance through proper application of SOA principles.In the process, they also consolidated their application portfolio and gotten a much better handle on their data. But in order to do so, you have to do a fair amount of enterprise planning, pick the right projects, deploy a shared infrastructure, institute a governance program, and change the way people design and build systems. SOA is NOT about technology, but technology can facilitate its adoption. SOA is a set of design principles, and to be successful with SOA, you must adopt those principles. SOA is a lifestyle.
