Beyond the Hype: How to Make Web Services Work for Your Organization - Part II — Using Web Services in Your Business

Overview Why investigate Web services now?

Web services are already here! Forward-thinking companies are developing their strategies now to include how they can apply Web services to benefit their organizations. More passive organizations will lag on the technical learning curve, allowing their customers and trading partners to dictate how and what information will be published and consumed.

Part 2 of this two-part article includes:
The impact of Web services on your sales and profits
How you can leverage a Web services infrastructure in your organization
A roadmap for getting started.

Web services have the ability to impact both the top and bottom lines of companies. Automating a purchasing process with Web services has the potential to drop more revenue to the bottom line by eliminating manual order processing steps and reducing excess inventory.
