Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a conceptual business architecture where business functionality, or application logic, is made available to SOA users, or consumers, as shared, reusable services on an IT network. Business imperatives are the primary driving force for an SOA initiative, since they motivate the business to seek a new way of achieving business agility and IT flexibility through SOA.

Identifying the business and IT imperatives leads to formulating SOA drivers. SOA drivers ensure the focus of SOA initiative remains on specific areas of the business value chain where there is great potential for an SOA initiative to deliver business results.

Enterprise adoption of SOA necessitates critical analysis of technology and business issues that are currently inflicting the organization, address the challenges faced while integrating inter and intra organizational systems, lead time required for introducing a change etc. A successful SOA engagement calls for determining customer's SOA maturity level and guiding the enterprise through a sequence of steps.
