The benefits of location transparency in an SOA:

1. Chief among the benefits of a service oriented architecture is that services and clients operate independently of their locations, known as location transparency. Learn some of the advantages of using it and also a few issues that could arise.
2. One of the major benefits provided by a service oriented architecture (SOA) is the decoupling of the client requesting the service and the service itself.
3. Through a registration and discovery mechanism, the SOA provides location transparency, which allows clients to not know (or care) about where a component or service is actually located.
