In this viewpoint paper, EDS describes a process-oriented, opportunity-driven approach to the implementation of SOA in the retail environment. This phased, results-oriented approach allows companies to create services that respond flexibly to changes in consumer demand, product design and supply-chain operations. This approach encourages companies to start small, to generate efficiencies and revenues from specific process improvements, and then to extend the shared benefits of SOA as new opportunities arise.
