HI
In todayu2019s ever changing world of technology and business innovations, the ability to accelerate innovation and develop operation excellence better and faster than competitors is critical to a companyu2019s success.  Business processes are the key to unlocking the potential of these strategies for competitive differentiation. This upgrade paves the road to an enterprise SOA (eSOA) which allows companies to quickly build and modify business processes to adapt to rapidly changing markets.  With enterprise SOA, companies can unify stand-alone processes to quickly compose new end-to-end processes, selectively redesign existing processes and facilitate seamless process design and execution across company boundaries to take advantage of business partnersu2019 expertise.  Enterprise SOA (eSOA) unleashes the untapped potential of existing business process within and across company boundaries. 
Enterprise Service Oriented Architecture (eSOA)
eSOA in PI 7.1 addresses the shortcoming of the previous XI architecture.  It provides the foundation needed to create a modernized and responsive technology environment.  The typical SOA approach tends to focus exclusively on the technology framework and neglect the larger business process.  A combined focus on both application and infrastructure is something that SAP provides called Enterprise SOA (eSOA).  It is SOA plus Enterprise Services which enables partners and customers to plug in reusable application snippets and enable flexibility within business processes.
It is a business-driven software architecture that increases adaptability, flexibility, openness and cost efficiency. This architecture elevates the design, composition and management of Web services to address enterprise requirements.
