Service-orientation is a design paradigm to build computer software in the form of services. Like other design paradigms (e.g. object-orientation), service-orientation provides a governing approach to automate business logic as distributed systems. What distinguishes service-orientation is its set of design principles to ensure the manner in which it carries out the separation of concerns in the software. A service-oriented architecture (Soa) is governed by these principles. Applying service-orientation results in units of software partitioned into operational capabilities, each designed to solve an individual concern. These units qualify as services.
Service-orientation has received a lot of attention since 2005 due to the benefits it promises. These include increased return on investment, organisational agility and interoperability as well as a better aligment between business and It. It builds heavily on earlier design paradigms and enhances them with standardisation, loose coupling and business involvement .
