Web
Services are the evolution of achieving end-to-end systems interoperability
Imagine - computer systems
on different technologies, located at different locations and belonging to
different companies that form a value chain network (e.g. supplier - distributor
- customer), exchanging information pertaining to shared business transactions
without great difficulty.
And not only structured
information but the vast amount of unstructured information that so often
determines success or failure of organization's business activities.
Web Services are designed
to establish interoperability between computer systems - they are the next step
of systems integration using Internet-based technology. They offer:
The opportunity to better connect with your suppliers, customers and partners
using low-cost Internet technology (vs. more expensive proprietary means
exchanging data), while preserving data security
Offering new revenue opportunities in more easily connecting your systems with
those of other businesses
Connecting internal business systems applications with remote systems so
solutions can be created for specific business needs and different business
processes can be interactive
Allowing internal applications and information written in different programming
languages, or on different platforms to be shared
Easier accessing systems and services offered by your business partners |
