Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

SOA refers to a software development model that is based on a contract between a consumer and a provider of services. From an ERP perspective, SOA decomposes the business logic into smaller, distinct units of services. An example of a service might be a print routine, or a service to calculate the tax on a purchase. When deployed on the Web these can also be considered to be Web services. The difficult question with ERP systems is that each service must be integrated with all the other, related services to provide seamless support for users.
