Lorraine Lawson rounded out my recent list of "Nine places where SOA is making a difference, right now" with a tenth active business case.

Harrah’s employed SOA to learn more about its customers across all its properties, which include several prominent resorts and casinos. Workers can now easily identify and reward regular customers across the company’s numerous holdings. SOA also made it easier for Harrah’s to acquire and integrate new companies.
