Does Enterprise need SOA for Integration?

One of the most overlooked requirement in Enterprise as well Integration Architecture is seamless replacibility of enterprise applications ( custom made, off the shelf, Cloud, Enterprise Information System, etc). For example, enterprise XYZ wish to replace Siebel CRM by Salesforce. To achieve this target, Enterprise IT has to develop customizations on Salesforce and integration harnesses with other EISes.

Certainly, customization of Salesforce need to be developed but can Integration harness development is reduced to minimum. If Integration has followed the SOA in true sprit then YES but if Integration has followed SOA by using just Tools and platform then NOT.

Decision is yours.
