Web services extend the World Wide Web infrastructure to provide a means for software to connect to other software applications. Applications access Web services via web protocols and data formats such as HTTP, XML, and SOAP, without needing to know how each Web service is implemented.
Anchor Software’s SOAP/XML based Web service provides the end user the ability to have multiple users and/or systems perform multiple, simultaneous address verification lookups. Users can create an internal company website, or a stand-alone application in any platform and language of their choice to retrieve this address-lookup information. AddressPro supports HTTP and 128-bit encryption HTTPS connectivity.
