The definition of SOA

An article at CIO recently defined service oriented architecture as:

a broad, standards-based framework in which services are built, deployed, managed, and orchestrated in pursuit of new and much more agile IT infrastructures that respond swiftly to shifting business demands.

Also according to the article, SOA also has the potential to reduce your IT costs and improve your business agility, all while taking many of the tools already at use in the organization and conforming them to a new structure that will help align the business.

Do you agree with this definition, if not, what would you change?
