There are a
number of factors that could impact a business's acceptance of Service Oriented Architecturea
type of software that communicates over a network or through various connected but separate
applications to gather the data and make the decisions it needs.

On the
positive side, a business may have a very integrated work place alreadywith a number of
different applications and programs gathering data on their job functions. If this is the case,
they may be more ready to adopt SOA because the infrastructure is in place to gather the data
necessary and make the desired changes.

On the other hand, a business that
deals with very sensitive content or materialsuch as proprietary technology or intellectual
property, may be unwilling to adopt SOA because of the level of open communication between the
program and external sources. This leaves more room to compromise the information and could harm
the company.

Finally, a business that is simply disorganized may find a major
benefit in adopting this technology because it can help centralized their information. However,
it also may be a deterrent since it requires so much connection that it may be difficult to
track down every piece of data due to the lack of organization.
