1. Double Value with Software Reuse

First off—SOA doesn’t guarantee software reuse. The chance of gaining reuse is directly related to the governance mechanism development by the company. This entails having centralized development teams, and a single development methodology and service repositories. Second—the service may simply not be able to meet the needs across the company. Hence developers should consider the difference ways in which the applications service can be of use when designing it.
If the bundle of code that form a service is the right size and scope, then it can be reused the next time a development team needs that particular function for a new application. In the end, you’re getting more value for your money.

2. Productivity Increase

Software Reuse --> Faster Integration --> Saved Time & Resources --> Quick Project Cycles --> Productivity Increase --> More Projects

3. Increased Agility

Even if services will not be reused, they can offer value if they make IT systems easier to modify. If at any point you need to change anything to a particular system, you can do it without having to change the other applications that link to it. 

4. Quicker Time to Market

The flexibility of SOA allows you to assemble and extend components more easily with business changes. SOA can help businesses respond more quickly and cost-effectively to changing market conditions.

5. Better Technology and Business Alignment

SOA shows clearly all the business processes and flows of a company. Business people can visualize how technology constructs their businesses. When IT projects are put in terms of business activities and processes rather than complex software applications, people throughout the organization can immediately recognize the value of IT.
