Both Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) and Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) are unique architectural styles widely used in today's industries. Mostly however, they exist as isolated systems that could greatly benefit from each other when being combined. This paper introduces SOEDA, an approach that unifies EDA and SOA by introducing a step-based development method taking advantage of the unique properties of each architecture. Individual steps reach from abstract process specification over event and process implementation to the the final execution phase -- described in a abstract manner and by means of an example. Resulting applications are based on state-of-the-art workflow technology using events to trigger execution of individual business activities.
