SOA, Web Services & XML

Editor's Note | News | Features | Discussion Forum | XML RSS Feed

Hot tools, how-tos, late news ý hands on for builders in todayýs fastest-growing application space.


Editor's Note

In this issueýs DobbsCast, Jon Erickson interviews Roy Mitchell, product manager for OnWeb and OnWebManage at NetManage, on web services strategies for mobile devices. Mitchell suggests that, beyond email, the next generation of mobile web services applications will access CRM, ERP and other enterprise apps ý both in executive terrain (the corporate heads-up display, encapsulating and summarizing critical business heartbeat info in realtime) and in the more prosaic and process-bound arena of field-force management. Mitchell discusses specialized developer tools that anticipate the need to access unstructured, as well as structured data on existing business systems, maintain security and insure usability as data is exposed on mobile apps.
