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?
 
Thanks
Emma
