Take One For Web Services
There seems to be an inverse proportion between the size of the technological
stride and the time it takes to achieve success. Nowhere is this tenet more
applicable than in the case of Web services. Web services have come a long way
in just a few years. While initial adoption of Web services by end users was
slow, organizations are now realizing that the architecture can offer faster and
more cost-effective solutions to their integration and interoperability
problems.
Maximizing Site Performance
Savvy companies understand that site performance and availability are the
backbone of their online presence. In the Internet's earliest days, a simple FTP
ping was good enough to check availability. Today companies can have multiple
sites accessed around the globe. If those sites are unavailable, your
investments in content and management technology mean nothing.
