         Drivers for the adoption of Web services include business drivers such as increased revenues, business agility and cost reduction, IT drivers such as ease of integration and complexity management, and industry drivers such as software as a service, new Web services standards, and open Internet protocols.

         The major sections of the Web services value chain are comprised of infrastructure services, platform services, registry services, aggregation and portal services, and business services.

         The conceptual model behind Web services is a service-oriented view of business applications composed of a service provider, a service user, and a service registry.

         The benefits of Web services include new sources of revenue, competitive advantage, increased business agility, migration toward the virtual enterprise, and increased IT productivity and reduced costs of integration.

         The challenges for Web services include strategy formulation prior to deployment, implementing the required levels of security and trust, and gaining critical mass in terms of business partners all using the technology.
