In the current economic context, enterprises are struggling to obtain competitive advantages on the\r\nmarket, by exploiting the opportunities offered by information technology. The research in this\r\npaper aims to encourage the use of modern approaches in order to increase enterprise agility,\r\nthrough the transition to Service-Oriented Enterprise (SOE). The proposed solution is based on\r\nreaching a superior level of maturity of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) within the\r\norganization. SOE integrates the latest technologies with service-oriented business processes\r\nwithin an approach which requires the creation of an agile architecture and also major changes at\r\norganizational level. Structured in two main parts, the paper first highlights the SOA maturity levels\r\nin organization according to several factors, as well as the knowledge of the impact and the changes\r\narising from SOA adoption. In addition, an architectural model for service-oriented enterprise is\r\nproposed, based on up-to-date technologies like SOA, Cloud Computing, Business Process\r\nManagement and Case Management. This model is intended to facilitate the interoperability\r\nbetween business partners as well as the alignment of information technology strategy and\r\nbusiness strategy, and ultimately to increase enterprise agility.
