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.
Web Services solutions solve many, often-recurring, business processes; from delivering information between applications within disparate environments to enabling the cost-effective reuse of existing technology assets.
Today's business solutions that are transpired over the web 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. We call this phenomenon "dynamic application re-engagement."All of Avion's applications are built taking into consideration this evolutionary process in the application's lifecycle.
Our ebusiness solutions leverage these 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 ebusiness 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. Avion's SOA bring 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.
