Web services called key to integration
InfoWorld | at | by Mike
Integration of disparate systems is set to become the killer app for Web services, stressed Iona CEO Barry Morris, during a keynote presentation at the Web Services Edge conference here on Wednesday. Following the presentation, Morris said Microsoft is the only vendor truly embracing Web services and that other companies are attempting to shoehorn in Web services to sell their own technologies. Morris stressed that Web services can provide the simplified mechanisms for integrating systems that have escaped the industry thus far.
"It's about integration, stupid," Morris exclaimed. "From the very early days of this, what we've been talking about is this thing called Web services integration."
