May, 2003 : Organizations Adopting Web Services: IDC
📅 - Research firm IDC (idc.com) today released the results of its most recent survey of the Web services market. The report, Shining the Light on Web Services Projects: Findings from IDC's Web Services Investments Study, provides project and investment details associated with organizations currently undertaking Web services initiatives.
According to the survey findings, organizations are taking a more conservative approach to Web services in terms of both the number of projects undertaken and total dollars spent. IDC finds that organizations are making incremental investments with the expectation that Web services will have a positive impact on business and a timely positive return.
?Organizations are targeting a wide array of solutions with Web services technology. These projects range from pure integration to addressing industry-specific B2B external processes," said Sandra Rogers, research director for Web services software at IDC. "Although many of the companies studied are in the first stages of adopting this type of computing architecture, most see substantial promise for what Web services standards-based design and interoperability have to offer."
Some of the central findings were:
Most of the Web services projects being undertaken are focused on solving a targeted business or automated function, with industry-specific processes as prime candidates.Study respondents plan to continue investing in pertinent software to support their Web services initiatives, with security technology on the uptake.Those organizations embarking on Web services projects primarily desire to reduce costs via their initiatives.A majority of organizations are currently developing and implementing Web services solutions utilizing internal resources, and making incremental software and hardware spending outlays to support these projects.
