Bespoke Software Development - Web Services
StyleTech have been using bespoke web services since 2005 to create dynamic websites and "software as a service". A web service allows two applications to communicate via the web or cloud. A web service should always be available for an application to consume. Bespoke web services can communicate using the SOAP standard (Simple Object Access Protocol) or REST (Representational State Transfer).
The development of web services is a key component in the creation of modern web-based applications. These applications should operate with the same responsive user interface as a traditional desktop application.
It is critical that all web services are secured to prevent any data loss or data manipulation. StyleTech take the following security considerations into account when developing bespoke web services:
- Authentication
- Authorisation
- Auditing
- Confidentiality
- Integrity
- Attach availability
StyleTech develop bespoke web services using Windows Communication Foundation or WebAPI on the Microsoft platform.
