SOA difference

I've often said that if SOA is about technology then its another minor IT improvement that won't deliver a fraction of the benefit that the hype promises.

So why do I think that SOA is different from the way most people architect IT solutions and why do I think it will have an impact?

Because simply put I think that SOA is about changing the way people think, its about making them think about Business Services and being focused on business objectives first, and technology objectives second.
