1 Introducing Novell Web Services
Novell
®
Web Services is a collection of technologies that enable Novell’s Net
Services products to work.
For example, the Enterprise Web Server is one of the key Novell Web services
components. But it is also the enabling technology for iLogin
TM
and might also
be used to serve up your department or company Web site.
The marriage of Novell’s industry leading net services software with Novell
Web Services offer unparalleled opportunities for business exchanges, both
within and between companies.
There is no better medium or infrastructure in place to enable, enhance, and
encourage open communications than the Web. What e-mail has done for
person-to-person communication, the Web does for person-to-department,
department-to-department, company-to-person, and company-to-company
communications.
While your expertise might be in networking technologies, Novell Web
Services are simple to use and ready to run, right out of your NetWare 6 box.
