From an SOA perspective this is an important lesson, it means that its actually the links between services are critical success factors, rather than just the services themselves. When people talk about getting in lots of best of breed services and just orchestrating them together they are missing a key point about cohesion.
Loose coupling isn't the best thing in the world all of the time. Sometimes things are better if they are naturally cohesive and actually have a high degree of coupling. This can make it easier to get them to work together and actually deliver more value because of this cohesion.
So be very careful when obsessing about loose coupling or using only "Best of Breed", think about the right level of coupling and the services that work for you.
And remember... don't listen to Accenture, when doing SOA its better to be a team than a tiger.

Think a certain amount of that boils down to:
Hype/Fetish-driven (dumb) engineering vs pragmatic (smart) engineering
