There is an interesting article on java.net about SOA reusability, Shrinking the Lag between Business and IT:

This article articulates the vision of reusability with a different spin around the business users, the ultimate end users of SOA. This article nicely describes how business-process modeling tools and SOA enables business analysts to directly reconfigure systems built on SOA with near-zero involvement of the IT staff. IMHO, every SOA architecture team should put this into their SOA vision and mission statement, and also include it in their pitch to muster the necessary support from business users. - Jerry
