Delphi is not only cross-platform compatible, it is also compatible across servers.

Integrate your business with Web Services Corporations today are applying the benefits of Web Services by leveraging the Internet to connect and integrate with their customers, suppliers, business partners, and employees across the globe and across diverse platforms and technologies. Delphi 7 Studio now has enhanced support for attachments, Global XML Web Services Architecture (GXA), Web Services routing, Web Services Inspection Language (WSIL), and header support for custom expandability. These enhancements increase your applications’ interoperability and reliability so that you can gain a higher standard of Web Services support. With full support for industrystandard Web Services technologies, Delphi 7 Studio simplifies business-tobusiness (B2B) integration by enabling developers to more easily create industrystandard SOAP/XML Web Services and connections.

Navigate UDDI directories and gain integrated fail-over support Browse available UDDI directories to locate Web Services providers, and import services directly from the browser into your applications. Gain additional resiliency through automatic Web Services fail-over support using the UDDI client. The UDDI registry provides each Web Service with a fingerprint that is then imported into the application source code. In the event a call to the service were to fail, the fingerprint would be used to retrieve the new URL location. Subsequent calls are automatically redirected, saving time and promoting customer satisfaction.

Leverage B2B Web Services integration with BizSnapTM BizSnapTM technology expands the capabilities of the Windows operating system with e-business XML and Web Services functionality. BizSnap technology makes it easy to exchange, transform, and manipulate XML documents, giving you the flexibility and extensibility to move your business into the next wave of B2B e-commerce.
