Report Summary
Title: Service Based Packaged Applications
Author: Jonathan Stephenson
Publication Date: 16 July 2003
Report Type: Journal
Report Class: Best Practice
Abstract: In this report we ask the question, is web service technology the future for packaged application delivery? We examine the implications for companies who may choose to implement their own systems based on a hosted collection of web services and compare this approach with buying and installing a package.
Backgrounder: Web services offer an easy, inexpensive, standards-based solution to enterprise integration issues and mobile workforce collaboration. As such we can understand why a hosted CRM vendor might slap a SOAP interface on top of an existing API so that third party developers and enterprise customers can extend and integrate their package, but does this make it a Service Oriented Architecture? We think not.
