developments are leading to a fundamental shift
in the way we develop, deploy, maintain, and use
business applications.

Web Services:
Clarity through the Cloud
Todd Gill,
President, Ossia Systems
Web services have
emerged as one of the most powerful technologies
for integrating applications in existence. From
desktop applications, to complex web
applications, to PDA applications - web services
are the standard for application integration. As
this technology has matured, an ever-growing
number of companies (and individuals, whether
they know it or not) are using this technology
every day. This discussion will explain how this
extremely useful technology can help you:
-
Securely
integrate your existing applications and
systems - even if they run on different
platforms, in different locations, and on
different networks
-
Outsource
specific pieces of application functionality
to 3rd party vendors
-
Offset risk by
using 3rd party web services to handle
sensitive transactions or to store sensitive
data (or create additional revenue streams
by handling these transactions for others)
-
Extend the life
of your existing code libraries, reducing
the frequency of costly re-writes
-
Use all of the
above to effectively build and manage your
company's application portfolio

Bringing Predictability to the Software
Development Process

Why
