“Orchestration-Driven Service-Oriented Architecture Architecture styles, like art movements, must be understood in the context of the era in which they evolved, and this architecture exemplifies this rule more than any other.

However, it provides a great example of how a particular organizational idea can make logical sense yet hinder most important parts of the development process.”
