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.
