Web Services
Ascential provides integration solutions that accelerate the adoption of Web services, eliminating the expensive, time-consuming, and risky overhaul of critical business systems. By combining the powerful integration capabilities of Ascential DataStage TX with the emerging Web services standards, Ascential enables you to provide and employ Web services at both the business process and data process levels.
The Web Services component of Ascential DataStage TX leverages Web services standards (WSDL and SOAP) so you can expose functions in your existing enterprise systems - such as SAP, Siebel, PeopleSoft, mainframe applications, and data - as Web services without altering those systems or incurring expensive development and integration costs. You can also access Web services provided by third parties or by other departments within your company, and incorporate Web services responses into integrated business processes.
