Many
Applications Service Provider ASP' s are wondering what
Web hosting services are and how,
exactly, they will impact the ASP marketplace. Some ASP's
view Web services as a threat, others a
like-minded business model. Web services are in their
infancy and promise (like the fledgling ASPs of
the late 90's) an application utopia. Web services promote
integration and, in theory, will unify various
systems on multiple platforms in seamless communication.
Theory and actuality will depend greatly upon
the ability of Web services to improve operational performance
in a cost-effective manner within a
reasonable timeline.
Most software product line is Web services, an interesting
statement coming from a major player in the
mid-level ASP marketplace. Businesses are broken down
into different departments and traditionally
software products were developed and delivered for each
of those individual areas. What would happen
is a company would end up with a bunch of systems with
islands of data that weren't talking to each other.
We take all of their applications that were traditionally
sold separately and built those in a real time
integrated package. So if Application Service Provider
(ASP) are offering integrated, customized
solutions the question remains: How do Web services impact
or in any way change the way Application
Service Provider (ASP) are doing business?
According to business consultants with years of experience
in the technology industry, Web services architectures
are optimized for the Internet and, as a result, do not
carry the same performance over
head that other technology architectures incur on the
Internet. Web services architectures encourage specialization
via platforms that are easily integrated with other providers.
He claims that this results in, "service grids consisting
of highly specialized enabling service providers focused
in such areas as security, reliable messaging, and monitoring
of service performance. The capabilities of these service
grids will go
a long way in addressing customer concerns and building
trust.
Still others raise a few questions about Web services
and points out a hurdle or two Web services must overcome
if they're to succeed. Some analysts argue that the implementation
of Web services will create complex inter relationships
and dependencies between applications, and make it more
difficult to identify problems, assess their impact, and
devise a solution. Other criticisms of Web services include
the potential
to consume network bandwidth, questionable reliability,
and poor message tracking. MVI contends that investment
in Web services must be business-driven and business owned
and the return on that investment rests, obviously, on
the overall business value of Web services. Will operational
performance improve over time relative to itself, the
competition, or best practice? Will the improvement be
due to the Web services functionality? Will it be at a
cost commensurate with that improvement?
Whether or not Web services will be a success or failure
they are indeed a force to be recognized.
Irrespective of Application Service Provider (ASP) fears,
Web services can promote greater flexibility
for ASP end-users and refined cohesion. At worst, they'll
complicate back end technology, muddle communication,
and deepen customer trepidation however this is unlikely.
Web services are fundamentally
a mechanism for an interface. Five years from now, 90%
(of Web services) will be for machine to machine interaction.
Completely automated and chained. The Application Service
Provider (ASP) model doesn't
change and with the integration of Web services technologies
an (ASP) can more tightly integrate with
a customer.
