from SOUP to SOAP

Dealing with legacy systems is like one of those word games, where you have to get from SOUP to SOAP by changing one letter at a time.

SOUP represents legacy. SOAP represents fully compliant service-orientation.

SOA allows for a progressive decoupling of legacy systems - from SOAPY SOUP (legacy systems with some service interfaces) to SOUPY SOAP (service-based architecture with some outstanding legacy areas).
