What are Web Services?
quadraincorp Web
Services are Open standard (XML, SOAP) based applications that exchange
data over the internet. Any application, system, or language which can
exchange an XML message can implement quadraincorp Web Services. In
other words, Web Services can also refer to technology that's delivered to
a consumer or business over the Internet. Typically, that's done by a
software company that sells software to its customers as a monthly,
pay-as-you-go service, rather than sending disks and installation instructions.

§ Web Services are
available anywhere in the world an internet connection is present.
§ Web Services

§ Web Services can
connect new possibilities to any part of your organization, using any
language, or any operating system.
§ Web Services can
be implemented in hours or days compared to months using traditional
implementation methods.
Who uses Web Services?
Any
entity that wishes to exchange data between systems without having to
standardize systems or invest vast sums to engineer interfaces with
multiple systems should use Web Services. Google, IBM, Microsoft, Yahoo,
HP, Dell, Amazon and thousands more use Web Services every day. The
following companies show examples on how Web Services are currently being
utilized.
The Open Geospatial Consortium is a non-profit, international
organization leading the development of standards for geospatial and location
based Web Services. View the video about how Web Services play a key
role in their work. Salesforce.com offers
customer-resource-management, as a service over the web. Read why CEO Marc
Benioff says it's time for "the end of software"
How do I use Web Services?
Ask yourself
where Web Services could benefit your company. Will automatic reminder
phone calls help customer retention? Will my company save money on postage
and returned mail if we standardize all of our customer data? The
main attraction to 'Web Services' is the fact that they are so easy for IT
departments to implement into existing applications. Make your IT
department or IT outsourcing company aware that there is a value by using
quadraincorp Web Services.
