Web service requests:
Ava is committed to supporting web services for automatic
exchange between customer and client systems. Web services have a
number of advantages over email and web scraping. These are:
-
Security the
web service data can be encrypted over and above the security
offered by plain text web pages.
-
Confirmed
communication, a web service can operate in both directions
confirming receipt of data.
-
Strong
formatting, data can be passed with total accuracy of meaning. This
allows the communicating systems to drive each other improving
efficiency.
-
Speed, a web
service is inherently faster than email.
