This book describes Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the significant factors which affect its adoption, such as governance, strategy, complexity, Return on Investment (ROI), business and IT alignment, culture and communication, costs, and security. The study on which this book is based, involved a quantitative analysis to investigate the influential factors for adopting SOA, paving the way to further research in the field.

• Describes the various factors, such as security, influencing Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) adoption in many organizations
• Investigates the relation between SOA adoption factors and the organizations' performance
• Developes a new SOA adoption framework to measure the effect on organizational performance
