Quite a few SOA initiatives use the technologies around SOA with a focus towards integration. This is just another way of doing EAI -- which could be better, or less efficient based on the nature of the applications involved.

What is a real time enterprise?
Real time enterprises have:
Choice of enablers and the extent of its implementation will depend on determined success factors and the dynamics that govern the business paradigm. However, the benefits a "BPM," a "BRM"or a "BAM" can bring in isolation, will improve exponentially when put into operations concurrently.
Transforming business to a real time enterprise
Transforming business to a real time enterprise requires for all factors -- people, business and technology -- to come together to create a synergized environment while the governance processes ensure that these elements continue to take SOA maturity to the next level.
Ensure sponsorship
To see that the initiative goes underway and attains its goals, securing executive sponsorship is most important. An awareness of what SOA brings in terms of cultural change needs to be created as well.
