Always System Integration
The hooks for the future
Integration is often an afterthought
Complex, inflexible and unreliable systems result
Need integration from the start
And security alongside it!
Increasingly required by today’s business and our clients:
Well catered for in .Net
19
Web applications
Increasingly ubiquitous
Easier to build
Easier to deploy and maintain
Flexible
Use over intranet or internet
Meet typical business requirements
20
XML and Web Services
Your flexible friends
Built into the framework
Simple and powerful
B2B made simple
Internal System interfaces via web services
Meet typical business requirements
21
Language independence
Too successful?
Only useful in the early days
Gets developers productive faster
But… Class library is very rich
Like Java, knowledge of the classes paramount
Language retraining is comparatively simple
