14. Can build an entry barrier that is highly complicated and virtually impossible to replicate. Not only does a company create a product that adds appeal to the customer, the company benefits because the harder it is for competitors to emulate a product the higher the barrier is and the customers become more "hooked" and less willing to change services. A good example is with a bank that offers direct deposit. Because the bank is already recieving the person's paycheck that will persuade the person from changing banks because they will not want to go through the process.

13. Service Oriented Architechture allows for modules to be manipulated into new applications at a diminshing future cost. Allow for more flexibility, can use selective standardization, and can be considerably cheaper than a time tested monolithic system. SOA allows an organization to try out a product on a limited scale and only move forward in small steps to keep the risks slower.
