Getting Started with Web Services

Research shows that increasing numbers of large companies are moving steadily toward the adoption of a service-oriented architecture (SOA) built on Web services as the basis of their next-generation application and integration environments. This whitepaper on getting started with Web Services shows how, before moving ahead full-bore with SOA implementations, these organizations are benefiting by deploying Web services first. By deploying Web services on an incremental basis, organizations can save themselves time and headaches – and ultimately simplify their migration path to SOA.
