SOA - An Enabler of Enterprise Architecture
Enterprise Architecture defines an organization's current and future structure, organization's processes, IT systems, lines of business and sub business units with business goals and objectives with a strategic intent.

SOA is an architectural style that is meant for business processes by structuring large applications as an ad-hoc collection of smaller modules called services. These applications can be used by different groups of people both inside and outside the company, and new applications built from a mix of services from the global pool exhibit greater flexibility and uniformity. With these ever increasing new approaches concepts getting introduced to wider audience, mostly frequently asked question is:

• How EA differs from SOA?,
• How the EA and SOA are related? and
• Can SOA enable EA?
