Does Cisco work with other solutions to compliment the standards used for core transactions?
Where there are no core business process standards available, Cisco uses web services to bridge the solution and process gaps. A Web service is a network interface to application functionality, based on standard Internet technologies, typically using an XML document over a SOAP call. By leveraging the investment in existing applications, software, resources, and infrastructure, Cisco has built several web services to boost partner productivity during the order management cycles.
