The SOA knowledge gap
The common business structures that enable large corporations to function effectively can actually inhibit the development of an effective service-oriented architecture (SOA). Most enterprise employees outside of IT work for a team, in a department, in a division or some similar hierarchical structure.

But the organizational structure can present challenges for SOA analysis when the IT solution requires input from representatives in all parts of the business.
