Description

The platform for today's business-to-business transactions is steadily moving from proprietary networks to the Internet. As organizations change their infrastructure to support the Internet, they must decide which messaging service standard to choose: AS2, ebXML or SOAP? The latest DGI research report provides an introductory overview of these messaging service standards, offers guidelines for making business decisions about these messaging technologies, compares AS2 and ebMS (electronic business using XML Messaging Services) to each other, and compares them to SOAP, in a balanced, vendor-neutral fashion. High-level technical and business considerations are offered throughout the report, as well as guidance on how organizations can choose their vendors wisely.
