- Why: Studies show that Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) is used in more than 50% of new mission-critical applications and business processes and by 2010 this level will increase to 80%. With this rate of proliferation throughout the enterprise and the underlying importance of service reliability to these applications, businesses are now including Web service and SOA management and governance as top priorities.
