Applying Service Orientation through WCF

I was supposed to talk more about Development processes at Techmela on this Topic. But then I decided to share one particular aspect that i have learned over and over again when dealing with customers who have gone and developed multi-layered services and clients. There are some common aspects that i have noticed with many customers and queries.

Being a consultant in this space does teach you a lot of problems that customers face and you being to see patterns. I would have liked to leave solutions for each one of these points mentioned but realized that its very situational and depends on a lot of factors. Solutions are mostly specific to each requirement and there have been very few that can be just solved with out of the box patterns
