No one involved in web based application development needs to be reminded of the continued rapid changes in the industry. New technologies and business models are continuously being brought forward, innovation still reigns supreme. A new comer to distributed component platforms is Web Services; other platforms include Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Common Object Request Broker (CORBA) and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).

Web Services as a framework has recently received considerable attention since the possible uses and applications for Web services using technologies such as SOAP, UDDI, WSDL and XML are virtually limitless.

CALNET consultants are helping customers build Web Services solutions that maximize the reusability and flexibility offered by Web services architectures, which reduce the cost and effort involved in integrating packaged and legacy software. Web services provide a low cost solution for enabling trading communities. Web services help companies expose data in applications that significantly increase the control of business operations and provide real-time analytics. CALNET's expertise in Enterprise Application Integration (EIA), business transaction models and secure frameworks truly leverages the flexibility and scalability of Web Services solutions for effective trading applications and B2B enablement.

Just about any process can be exposed as a Web service and enabled for real-time computing. System-to-system. No human intervention required. That could make you more agile. That could help you be more efficient and use existing resources more effectively. You could make better decisions based on more accurate data while you're saving time and money. That could transform the way you do business.

"It's safe to say that every software platform vendor out there, will have to either provide support, or provide tools for, Web Services at some point". CALNET supports development platforms from vendors such as Microsoft, IBM, Sun, Oracle and BEA Systems that make the creation of Web services and standards simple to plug Web services into the Internet.
