A Web Services Based Solution for Online Loan Management via Smartphone

摘要

Small microfinance institutions (in underdeveloped countries), despite their determination to expand into rural areas, are limited by geographic isolation and high transaction costs. For this, a solution has been proposed to access some features of the enterprise application via Smartphone. This solution is based on a service-oriented architecture in which the main features are developed as web services. The invocation of the methods is performed from a Smartphone or a PC, while the execution will be on a server that returns an understandable result through WSDL (Web Service Description Language) generated by web services, where the transport is provided by SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).
