The Great Master Lea was sitting on his mountain top basking in the sun. Earlier this morning an old man and a young woman had come before him to ask a question. This is what they asked: “Oh great master Lea, how do we know if we are on the true path to becoming service oriented?” The great master Lea looked at the man and the woman then turned his head towards the sky and said: “Go visit your projects and ask them if they are building business processes or applications”
A great tale about being on the true path

- “Whichever route you choose, remember that EA is a path, not a destination. EA has no value unless it delivers real business value as quickly as possible. One of the most important goals of any EA is to bring the business sides and the technology side together so that both are working effectively towards the same goals”. Roger Sessions, ObjectWatch, May 2007
