A 700 word report on the following topic. Service-oriented computing represents the fusion of several technologies, including distributed systems, software engineering, information systems, computing languages, Web based computing, and XML technologies, rather than being a new technology. …. The premise of the foundation of service oriented computing is that an application can no longer be thought of as a single process running within a single organization. The value of an application is actually no longer measured by its functional capabilities but rather by its ability to integrate with its surrounding environment (Papazoglou and Georgakapoulos, 2003). This means that services can help integrate applications that were not written with the intent to be integrated with other applications and define architectures and techniques to build new functionality leveraging existing application functionality. A new breed of applications can therefore be developed solely on the basis of collections of interacting services offering well defined interfaces to their potential users (Papazoglou, 2012 pp:12-13). How does eBusiness and/or Enterprise Systems Integration leverage the above technologies that Papazoglou (and Georgakapoulos, 2003; 2012) discuss? Explain these terms?
