A web service is a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network.

Software applications written in various programming languages and running on various platforms can use web services to exchange data over computer networks like the internet in a manner similar to inter-process communications on a single computer.

If you have disparate computer systems that need to communicate with one another or need to exchange data between computer systems through the internet without browser technology then Web Services may be the right solution for you!

• Web services use open standards and protocols. Protocols and data formats are text-based where possible, making it easy for developers to comprehend.
• By utilizing HTTP web services can work through many common firewall security measures without requiring changes to the firewall filtering rules.
• Web services easily allow software and services from different companies and locations to be combined easily to provide an integrated service.
• Web services allow the reuse of services and components within an infrastructure.
