Introducing WebServices – an information delivery system to exchange
automotive data efficiently & cost effectively
Recognising the need for customers to dramatically
reduce the development and maintenance costs associated
with integrating data, EurotaxGlass’s has
become one of the first automotive information
providers to use XML WebServices to make its calculations
available to customers online.
What is XML WebServices technology?
XML [Extensible Markup Language] is an independent,
industry-standard computing language that allows
disparate systems to exchange data efficiently
and securely via the Internet. Adopting XML gives
us a clear lead in the automotive marketplace,
allowing us to meet fast-growing demand for data
and solutions that can be accessed online with
zero maintenance.
How will WebServices help your business?
- Access data (such as used car valuations)
and intelligent components (such as the ability
to adjust a valuation automatically for mileage)
via the Internet
- Incorporate them seamlessly and flexibly
within your own systems or websites
- Reduce dramatically your support and maintenance
costs
- Eliminate the administration associated
with keeping your information and software
up-to-date.

efficiency of key processes within your business
