Web Services

At PGS Software, we understand how to apply Web Services in the creation of new application and services and apply the best practices of service-oriented architectures to leverage existing IT assets, software platforms and on-demand services. Our capabilities include:

Web Services Assessment and Strategy:

PGS provides consulting services to organisations to help formulate a strategy that leverages a Web Services architecture based on a well-defined return on investment (ROI) model. As part of these services, we offer a Web Services Pilot (WSP): proving business value and the right technology architecture.

Application Transformation:

PGS offers services to transform existing applications such as ERP, CRM, SCM, Document Management, Knowledge Management and legacy systems into application Web Services. This is the first step towards achieving complete Internal Business Process Integration (IBPI) and External Business Process Integration (EBPI), leveraging the right Web Services architecture, utilising our re-usable frameworks, modules and components.

Software Product Transformation:

PGS offers services that transform client/server software products to software-as-a-service (SaaS) on-demand utility computing outcomes. We achieve this by leveraging our understanding of service-oriented architectures (SOAs), applied across multiple technology platforms, including Microsoft .NET, Java EE and LAMP.

Performance and Tuning:

Perhaps the biggest challenge with evolving and emerging technologies is to ensure consistent and superior performance. The abstraction layer brought in by Web Services standards demands deep technology architecting expertise. PGS has extensive experience with various Web Services platforms and architectures, in both lab and production environments. This helps us deliver superior performance and tuning services to our customers.
