3. IBM Software Group … a service? A repeatable business task – e.g., check customer credit; open new account What is …..? … service orientation? A way of integrating your business as linked services and the outcomes that they bring … service oriented architecture (SOA)? An IT architectural style that supports service orientation … a composite application? A set of related & integrated services that support a business process built on an SOA 3
