Emma,
Service-Oriented Architecture centers on being
service-oriented, not technology-oriented. It's a common misnomer because
it's matured out of the work of XML & Web Services. However, the
reason this has been the leader is because without these technologies,
attempting to build infrastructure to deliver services in the past has been very
homogenous and limited in adoption.
Being service-oriented is all about leading with
business objectives and processes. The services allow software to support
feeding the process where automation is required and desireable. Thus,
instead of designing your process around a monolithic application (the tail
wagging the dog), small service-based software components will plug into your
business processes where needed.
Long answer to your question, but yes, the
Business Analyst needs to understand what SOA can do for them and be able to
identify where in the business processes they require automation and the type of
automation they are looking for.

Please can anyone advise whether you believe SOA is of interest to Business Analyst's as well as IT personal. Also do you think that any particular industries/public sector is focusing on SOA application?ThanksEmma
