Web Services have generated considerable attention because they promise to make numerous technologies and applications work together more easily, creating huge benefits to companies. But if everything is supposed to work together, why is there so much debate about technologies, platforms and standards? Is this a case of false promises? What if my company picks the wrong technology? This session lays out the main lines of debate regarding Web Services platforms and standards, adoption risks and explains how the ultimate goal - interoperability - will be achieved to everyone's benefit.

Is the ROI in Integration Real?
Hear Session Audio |
|
If you've heard anything about Web Services, it has probably been about how they will revolutionize business and the corporate environment. Better systems integration, improved access to more information, more effective communication with partners, suppliers, and customers and new business models - it sounds great. But such transformations come at a cost. In today's environment, new investments must be justified strictly on a ROI basis. This session focuses on the cost and benefits of Web Services, the efficiencies that can be generated and the substantial ROI your company can achieve.
