Web Service Development & Consumption

Hosted Data. Right Where You Need It. INSite can build or consume the "web services" that give your company the edge.

What is a Web service?

A “Web service” is a specific term created by the industry to describe a function provided by one software system or application that is available for access by another software system or application over the Internet (or any network).

This communication is achieved using a standardized mechanism such as text-based XML, eliminating the need for the communicating software applications to be running on the same hardware and software platforms. For example, a software system utilizing Windows .NET can communicate with a system built in Java on a Unix platform via a "Web service".

INSite can build and host on-demand cloud-based "web services" for delivering business data to any Internet-connected system, including Software as a Service (SaaS) applications, websites, mashups, spreadsheets or core enterprise systems.

INSite has also worked with platform-as-a-service applications built by: StrikeIron, Exact Target, Constant Contact, My Emma, FaceBook, Google, YouTube, Microsoft and others.
