Looked at through the lens she presents – it is easier to see where my organization (UM) is already doing some things using an SOA approach – things like UMIAC (our course information service) and our Cosign single sign on are the best example of real SOA as described by Anne.

The neat bit is that if you decide that reducing redundancy is the goal – then you can use whatever technology works at the moment – and deploy real and effective SOA solutions that really work and ultimately do improve function and saves money.
