Web Services provide an important building block for Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and increasingly, for large-grained business integration. While SOA has received most of the attention, use of Web Services for loosely coupled business integration is becoming more common. This webcast will examine how Web Services are used in business integration, and how business integration architecture and tools are evolving to accommodate Web Services within abstract frameworks that support multiple integration mechanisms and styles.

• How Web Services are used today for business integration, and how that is changing
• Where Web Services requirements for SOA and for business integration overlap and where they diverge
• How Web Services building blocks map to business integration abstractions
• Why a model-based specification approach for Web Services makes sense for business integration
• How business integration will change as Web Services become commonplace for B2B integration
