Using web services, a supplier can enable its customers to view the status of their orders on demand and exchange invoices and purchase orders automatically. An enterprise will be able to easily tailor web services from its ERP, CRM and HR systems to suit their evolving business processes.

Most of the low-level technology issues have been established through broad cooperation between the major software companies through standards bodies such as W3C and standards such as SOAP and UDDI are now universally accepted.

Today, security is the single biggest hurdle that needs to be overcome before web services can achieve widespread use. In a world where machines are exchanging confidential business documents with each other, it is imperative that there is a reliable and scalable means to manage and enforce security policies for each of these web services.
