SOA - 3 In Layman ’ s Terms Historically organizations have had many silo’d systems, in order to get these systems to “talk” a custom interface would have to be developed. SOA provides the framework that each system should use to “talk” to one another.

SOA - 4 SOA ’ s Predecessor Prior to SOA there was CORBA, which did relatively the same thing as SOA EXCEPT it used the iiiop protocol which was proprietary SOA runs on http: which is an open protocol, thus it could be used on existing networks.
