A service-oriented architecture is essentially a collection of services. These services communicate with each other. The communication can involve either simple data passing or it could involve two or more services coordinating some activity. Some means of connecting services to each other is needed.
Service-oriented architectures are not a new thing. The first service-oriented architecture for many people in the past was with the use DCOM or Object Request Brokers (ORBs) based on the CORBA specification. For more on DCOM and CORBA
Distributed systems, except for the must simple and perhaps useless, are if nothing else made up of services that will depend on other services. Distributed computing is all about depenencies so just because you use services realize your interactions does not somehow magically simplify a solution to never requiring depence.
