SPEECH THERAPY

摘要

For an industry that prides itself on innovation, IT has a poor track record for solving the problem of data integration. We are better off now than we were in the early 1980s, when hardware and operating systems were designed not to talk to rival suppliers' systems, but connecting applications is still far from intuitive. Web services is the latest computing model which is supposed to change all of that. The term web services, for some users, still means nothing more than providing online applications, but this misses the point. It is a distinct technology concept built using technology standards that were ratified over the last few years. Ignoring it now could be seriously expensive in the future.
