| Abstract: | Companies have traditionally viewed their information systems as proprietary. This approach has many flaws - it's cumbersome, expensive, and hinders collaboration. Today, we're seeing the emergence of an entirely new approach to corporate information systems: Web services. Rather than own and maintain all their own hardware and software, companies will soon buy their information technologies as services provided over the Internet. The authors guide executives through this new IT strategy, explaining what the Web services architecture is, how it differs from traditional IT architecture, and why it will provide significant cost savings to businesses while creating new opportunities for growth. They lay out a step-by-step approach for adopting the new architecture. |
