Web Services
Enterprise applications have the capability to provide invaluable data for
decision making at various levels. In order to support this, IT must provide a
way for applications to collaborate with one another in a service-oriented
architecture. Web services provide interoperability and extensibility enabled by
XML. The power of web services comes when they launch applications that address
complex business processes within and beyond an enterprise.
Web services address the same set of problems as do traditional
middleware technologies like RPC, CORBA, COM, RMI and message queues. What makes
web services unique and interesting is the promise of interoperability across
technology platforms, the acceptance of XML and web services as W3C standards,
and the firewall friendliness all this enables. However, these exciting
developments come with some unique technical challenges such as security,
routing, manageability, quality of service, and more. We provide customized
solutions in the following areas:
- Re-architect a product, application or solution to
take advantage of XML technology and Web Services in a service-oriented
architecture (SOA)
- Develop SOAP adapters to enable integration of a
customer’s solution with other applications
- Expose key functions and integration touch points
within an application or business processes as XML Web Services
