A key promise of SOA is that the activities in business process models that business analysts define can be instrumented by engineers to invoke SOA services. This approach to building applications is supposed to help align the business and IT sides of the house. In principle, this alignment increases agility by diminishing the impedance between conceiving a business process and executing it. Where a business process management system with a process execution engine is in place, it is even possible in some cases to directly execute business process models.
