I agree with you, but it remains a point is that SOA is the operational level,
may not meet the requirements of strategic levels.

SOA, i.e. service orientation, is the core of the enterprise business. If such
orientation would be cascaded down to the low-level business operational teams
and to IT, this will exactly address "strategic alignment", not only between
Business and IT but also between Business and Market (external environment) .
Thus, all "business processes" would be working within their business services
and IT products would address business strategic goals first, and daily
operations - second (as a left-overs of previous strategic goals adopted to the
market changes). Unfortunately, today, we have a reversed picture where IT
contribution into strategic business goals is steadily disappear ing on the way
from IT to the business top.
