Web Services provide a key to opening your company's products and services to the multitudes of companies and end users using the Internet. But how will your company solve the myriad of issues involved in implementing a web service solution? You need to consider whether a simpler approach such as REST is sufficient or whether your service requires the complexities of SOAP. The web service must be secure and handle authentication and authorization (e.g., X509 certificates, Federated Indentity, Authorization Manager) in ways that are interoperable with your customer's platforms. What operational characteristics will you need to maintain the service over the long term?
