WebService development
Web services are self-contained modular business applications that have open, Internetoriented,
standards-based interfaces. Web services are loosely coupled, communicating directly with other Web services via the Internet using standards-based technologies. This standards-based communication allows Web services to be accessed by customers,
suppliers, and trading partners independent of hardware, operating system, or even programming environment. The result will improve time to integration and lower the overall cost of ownership of integration solutions compared to today’s EDI and B2Bi solutions. The result will be an environment where businesses can expose their current and future business applications as Web services that can be easily discovered and consumed by external
partners.

Feathersoft provides robust, secure and reliable web services that satisfy your business needs.
We use cutting edge technologies such as .net framework, J2EE, XML, SOAP, RosettaNet, BizTalk.
Today, the Internet community is in the process of standardizing Web services from the bottom up through the efforts of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).Web services efforts seek to create a service-oriented model of computing. Realizing this
model is no simple matter.

The Web services paradigm has the potential to deliver many benefits for businesses for both
internal interaction and interaction over the Internet with partners. These include:

• Business agility — Developers will be able to respond quicker with the demanding
business needs to link up partners or to provide access to existing business assets within
the firewall.
• Interoperability — Functionality from heterogeneous development platforms (NET,
CORBA, J2EE) can be quickly integrated into business applications.
• Platform-agnostic — The Web services paradigm, being platform agnostic, solves the
basic EAI problem of having uniform interfaces to business applications. In the future,
packaged software applications will expose service-oriented interfaces based on Web
service standards.
• Leverage — Investments made in your Internet infrastructure can be leveraged to provide
new channels for providing service to your customers.
• Ubiquity — Current applications that have developed in any language can be exposed
as Web services quickly using Web services tools. Web services tools will be available on
all development platforms.
• Investment protection — The service-oriented paradigm that Web services builds on
promotes the use of clean interfaces that allow a business asset being wrapped by an
interface to be replaced, changed, or outsourced as business needs require without
affecting customers or business processes that depend on the asset.
• Component reuse — Developers will be able to use a large number of Web services
provided by third parties to deliver more powerful and integrated business solutions.
