Hewlett-Packard (HP) built a centrally hosted, globally accessible suite of services that can be used by HP Web storefronts and business systems around the world. Using the advanced support for Web services and business process management provided by Microsoft .NET technologies and BizTalk Server, HP integrated with third-party data providers and processing services, augmented the third-party services with custom business logic and data storage, and exposed the new solution's combined functionality for secure access over the Internet using broadly accepted Web standards like SOAP and Web Services Security. Called Global Gateway Services, the new solution was developed in only eight weeks and is helping HP business units - and the company as a whole - realize the benefits of a service-oriented approach to data processing: faster time-to-market, economies of scale for service fees, standardized security, and improved profitability.
