Another thing to look at is the RESTful plugin. It allows the same action to serve back data in different formats depending on (well, I'm simplifying) the extension used to call the action. This means your action could return JSON, XML, HTML, heck, CSV, depending on how it was called. This is a lighter-weight approach to SOA that allows for a pretty high degree of flexibility; it can be used to feed AJAX components, Flash apps, plain-old-websites, testing, etc. and can serve as a stepping stone* to more elaborate SOA architectures if it turns out more is necessary.
