E-MailTransitioning Business Application Components to Web Services
During the past two to three years, both the IT and business communities have been seriously discussing the possibility that Web services may become the next big thing. However, in many organizations, senior management is still trying to comprehend the true scope, benefits, and limitations that would be involved in utilizing Web services for their enterprise-wide initiatives. In some cases, the issues are related to optimizing return on investment (ROI), while in other instances, the focus is on total cost of ownership (TCO), time to market, or simply a reduction in the cost of doing business. Additionally, many businesses are still apprehensive and considering business factors such as diminishing returns or pure survival when choosing whether to implement Internet technologies. This is primarily due to limited benefits realized during the e-commerce era. It is difficult to address all of the relevant factors in detail that can offer significant values for your Web services initiatives. In this Executive Report, I propose formalizing a high-level transition path or road map to follow while integrating your existing business applications to realize the benefits of Web services.
