“Web services are already being used for a wide diversity of solutions, from integrating existing applications to brand new development projects,” said John Chase, vice president of North American Business Operations at Cape Clear Software. “As the number and diversity of these Web services projects grow, they require the support of appropriate Web services management technology.
