Two basic concepts:

Services: also known as components, business functions, or web services
Examples: Create Invoice
Delete Account
Orchestration: the combining of services into business processes
Advantages: Build and integrate quickly - without software coding/development
Handle errors easily and elegantly

SOA Defined
Service-Oriented Architecture is an approach to:

Rationalize enterprise integration

Enable new breeds of process driven applications
Re-use existing services to build new value
mainframe credit check + CRM + web portal + extra logic
= new online instant credit check

SOA heavily relies on standards to ease system connectivity

and preserve investment:

SOA Suite 10.1.3 Award-Winning Product

Independent Evaluation by InfoWorld, Published Jan 2007

Oracle SOA Suite - Excellent

I found Oracle SOA Suite, hands
down, the most comprehensive and
easy to use product on the market
today.
When it comes to message routing and
services orchestration, Oracle SOA Suite
meets or exceeds most needs for
governance, security, insight, and
optimization at a price thats hard to
beat.
Bottom Line: The Oracle SOA Suite pulls
together top-notch governance,
business rules, security, and business
activity monitoring into an ESB package
replete with native BPEL orchestration
and human workflow integration
