Web Services

Web Services refers to loosely coupled, executable application components linked dynamically over the network with open standards. Typically, Web Services solutions make use of software components that employ one or a combination of the following XML standards - SOAP, WSDL or UDDI.

    E-business solutions require the ability to efficiently deliver maximum performance to a highly variable number of users. In the world of cost reductions, building significant excess capacity into the infrastructure is not an option; capacity needs to continuously adjust to the volume. VisualNet does just that. Minimizing the cost associated with managing these environments is one of our top priorities.

Our e-business solutions leverage those platforms and enable those tools that are easy to deploy, have the ability to automatically add capacity as needed and deliver low cost of ownership through an integrated management framework.

Web Services solutions and e-business solutions emerge as catalysts for Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), the next generation architectural model that extends the flexibility and reach of existing IT infrastructure in enterprises. SOA brings many organizational benefits, including:

 

Flexibility on account of separation of interfaces and implementations, enhanced reuse in terms of shared services across multiple applications, business models, geographies etc.

Interoperability leading to automation of application to application communication Preservation of investment in legacy Control in the hands of business stakeholders instead of IT stakeholders, due to contractual interfaces of IT implementations.

In addition to the above, Web Services provides certain advantages owing to standardization and virtualization. Key advantages include:

 

Cost-effective integration of applications as compared to conventional EAI solutions

Platform neutrality and agnosticism makes them the ideal choice for solutions involving data and information aggregation from heterogeneous sources across enterprises

Enablement of cross-enterprise business processes

Forming the basis for futuristic enterprise IT trends like grid computing, pervasive computing and Business Process Management (BPM).
