Anthology WebServices |
Anthology Web Services allows your existing enterprise systems to interact with the Anthology system using industry standard technology. It provides a way for your enterprise systems to request data such as completed work or inventory status or submit data such as new work orders or newly purchased inventory. This makes your business more efficient; invoices go out quicker, inventory stock levels are more accurate, customers are serviced quicker, and fewer mistakes are made saving time and money. Flexible - Anthology will work with integration products you may already have such as Web Methods, Web Sphere and Tipco. If you don't have enterprise applications that use Web Services, Anthology can also input/output FLAT (Fixed Length ASCII Text), delimited files, or XML files in batch mode. We can also provide custom solutions for any interface requirements specific to your current systems. The system can also send email messages containing information for another application or to notify managers or other personnel. Powerful - Anthology Web Services utilizes an industry standard WSDL (Web Services Description Language) and XML (Extensible Markup Language). We utilize a “smart Client” application that sends messages to your external systems to prompt them to “fetch” data. It will operate in real time constantly waiting for message requests from external systems. Multiple copies of the interface can run if you need increased throughput. Both output and input message formats are fully configurable. Easy - The Anthology Web Services Manager provides an easy to use front end for configuration of the service. The developer can easily configure it by mapping the input data stream table row and column in the database. In the same way, the developer can map the output data steam from any table row and column in the database. This makes Anthology easy to configure for your specific data requirements. The developer can also map events to send out real time messages as required. Anthology Web Services provides a flexible and powerful and easy to configure interface to your business systems.
