Overview

The information technology landscape is being transformed by a powerful new concept in application architecture. This new approach to building business solutions is called "Software as a Service" (or simply "Web Services").

Today, most enterprises find that they must embrace a global marketplace, forge new partnerships, and open new markets to stay competitive.

Given the complexity of implementing and supporting such diverse architectures, many organizations have found it difficult to realize the benefits that enterprise-wide and external interoperability can deliver. Web Services provide enterprises with the ability to make their current and future technologies interoperate regardless of their age, technology, or user-scope. This new way of architecting applications and solutions is based on the latest Internet technologies (specifically XML, XSL, SOAP, and HTTP) and grounded by time proven methodologies (specifically process-based solution design).

Since 1993, we have been developing and assisting companies with their Internet-to-Back Office integration solutions.
