Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has significantly enhanced inter-organizational systems enabling business flexibility, Information Technology (IT) agility, and value generation. However, building a SOA that reduces technology-driven business and leverages process management seems referring to the recurrent issues of business process logic and IT alignment. This paper presents a model-driven development approach where long-running business service composition models drive their supporting service implementation models. To progress on the successful route to a SOA engineering with minimal design decisions losses, we propose a model-to-model transformation that preserves the architectural alignment between the business process and their supporting service implementation infrastructure. The result of the transformation is a component configuration model based on a SOA. It promotes the separation of business concerns, enabling quick and localized evolutions of the IT infrastructure.
