Enterprise architecture is an emerging field of study. There are multiple areas that provide building blocks for this discipline including information technology and business management. Information technology plays a vital role in shaping the direction of business. In a granular level, business processes can be mapped to hardware and software automated processes. Service oriented architecture (SOA) is a popular architecture for providing business services in the form of software and hardware services. A software service can represent a business service partially or fully. Developing architectural building blocks is a common practice recommended by open group. This paper presents one such building block in the form of software design pattern. The enterprise service delegation pattern provides a structure to arbitrate service calls. This pattern is being used to construct enterprise service buses.
