My vote is it's meaningless!
A more correct phrase would have been it has been designed using SOA,
but there is no such thing as being SOA compliant.

I'm currently looking at a CRM product that the vendor claims is
'SOA-compliant' yet it is also claimed to be an n-tier architecture. A
quick search on the concept of SOA-compliance brought up this
article:-

which was quite fun!
I suspect that the CRM vendor concerned actually means that you can
integrate with it using web services....
Question for the group - can an application be regarded as
SOA-compliant? Or is that rather a meaningless phrase?
thanks
