ABSTRACT

The complexity of service-oriented architecture (SOA) is apparent from the deployments of the business firms in Section 2. Although all the firms have deployed and expanded Web services based on SOA or deployed services, integrated process and services architecture, and restructured organizations and staff, few in the studies have deployed and exploited services based on service-oriented enterprise (SOE). SOA is not easy to develop from the hype of technology firms (vendors) marketing service technology.2 In our studies, there were collectively different technology firms marketing diverse product technologies and tools, of which the foremost of the firms are indicated in Table 7.1.
