Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)

Rather than focusing on object level code re-use, Web services focus on re-use at a much higher level by sharing data and logic across applications. By communicating with Web standard messages, Web services may be used by applications running on different platforms such as Java and Windows. Softwhere Solutions has experience creating both XML Web services and applications that use them to provide re-usable and interoperable functionality for its customers.

WMS / WFS

The OpenGIS Consortium (OGC) defines standard Web service interfaces for distributing GIS information across the Web as geo-referenced images (WMS) or as actual vector GIS data (WFS). Why burn copies of your data to CD, when Softwhere Solutions can create self-service, OGC-compliant Web services to distribute your ESRI or Intergraph GIS data to your partner agencies.

Rather than maintain a copy of external data in your GIS dataset, Softwhere Solutions can integrate real-time GIS data read from OGC-compliant Web services into your desktop and Web applications.
