Service Oriented Architects: Service Oriented Architects need to focus on business processes and on business services. The SOA architect has to understand where a business process is likely to change, and where it probably won't. They need to understand factors that impact multiple process steps, and those that are specific to a single step. Without this level of business knowledge SOA architects will not be able to design services with the proper granularity, and they won't be able to design the proper data interchange model.
