"It is indisputable that SOA-based application development delivers the agility businesses require. What we have set out to prove in this document is that the notion that SOA-based development is complex and resource-hungry is incorrect. With recent advantages in standards-compliant technology and products, it is possible to gain the benefits of SOA quickly and affordably."

In very easy-to-understand language, the paper describes the concepts, benefits and capabilities of process configuration. Linthicum then goes further to recommend a few simple steps that businesses can take to begin to realize the benefits of SOA-based orchestration.
