Creating Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) solutions means rethinking the practices currently in use to build systems, reconsidering the skills in an organization, and redefining the ways in which team members collaborate. This paper focuses on how IBM supports SODA, the relationship of SODA to the IBM Rational Software Development Platform (RSDP), and how IBM's core approach to design and Construction - model-driven development - is an essential element in creating effective and efficient services and service-oriented solutions. The paper explores the concepts behind these approaches and illustrates their realization with illustrative examples from customer experiences.
