Information exchange across businesses has become more prolific than ever before. With the consumers demanding a packaged information capsule rather than fragmented information bits from different venues, there arises a need of B2B interactions between the information providers. The problem arises when these disparate systems employ different technologies. In such a scenario they need a communication protocol that standardizes the information format and is independent of technology or platform. Internet solves this problem to some extent but putting mission critical and confidential information on the net is not an option that most companies will agree with.
It is this need for an alternate communication methodology that has given aided the conceptualization and flourishing of the web services concept. Though existing technologies like COM, CORBA and RMI are a part of the same solution space, they are far too difficult to master and less portable.
Web services are based on HTTP protocol and use XML as the base language. They are accessible over the net. They are based on a set of standardized rules making them highly portable. They can be extremely helpful in scenarios like business mergers and acquisitions or cross business networking.
Web services are the future of technology and have the potency of changing the way business is being done. By providing seamless B2B and B2C communication in highly secure environments it is allowing businesses to explore new avenues and helping them provide better services.
