I had chance to read a very interesting blog by Fracois Guillaumin related to SOA and PLM. He writes about roots of SOA and differentiation between Web Services, SaaS and SOA. This is worth reading and you can get it via this link.

I liked few practical examples of SOA- i.e. Numbering, lifecycle, etc. SOA will not come a product. There are two levels of SOA- granular services provided by vendors and customized services developed inside of an organization. Just my thoughts…

Best, Oleg
