Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) expresses an architectural concept which defines the use of services to meet the requirements of software users. An SOA environment will consist of nodes on a network which make resources available to other participants in the network as independent services (for instance Web Service) which are accessed in a standardised way.

Due to the highly interoperable nature of SOA services, technologies such as Java and .NET can co-exist. Software components tend to be reusable, so for instance a C#.NET service may be used by a Java application, and/or any other programming language which can access this service, as the interface can be defined in a standards-compliant manner which 'hides' any vendor- or language-specific implementation from the calling service.
