SOA's five benefits in one picture

In recent discussions with one customer, I ended up drawing a series of little pictures to try and summarise the five potential benefits that can come from pursuing SOA. It seemed to work for them, so I thought I'd reproduce it here and see what our readers think.

In order to test the old adage that a picture speaks 1,000 words, I'm not going to write a whole lot to explain what the diagram is showing: if it's a good diagram then you should be able to work that out pretty quickly. Of course, if I get an avalanche of comments asking for an explanation then (1) of course, I'll post one; and (2) it's not as cute a diagram as I thought it was!
