企业愿景 - Webswell坚信不只是大型富有的公司能从软件应用集成中获益,信息集成一样能为小公司带来收益。我们的目标是采用ebXML和webservices标准为中小企业提供集成解决方案。

将自己的信息系统、合作伙伴的电子交易有效集成后,那些大企业效率更高,因而拥有了更好的盈利能力。中小企业也想推行同样的模式,然而现存的解决方案花费巨大,难以后的理想的投资回报。Webswell有见于此,通过利用开源技术、采用web service架构为这些企业提供低成本的解决方案用于集成自有系统与电子商务。

Now, small and medium sized enterprises facing changes in their business that impact their internal systems can quickly change how their systems flow using the ebXML based Open Source Integration software, Webswell Connect. Business changes like acquiring new divisions, outsourcing functions, opening and closing company locations, and seeking new trading partners can be quickly and cheaply addressed. Using Webswell Connect systems and trading partners that currently do not talk to each other electronically can be configured to do so as long as both systems can talk to the file system or a SQL based Data Base.

Webswell sees significant cost savings in certifying such a platform using Open Source Software (OSS) components that are based on accepted open standards like EBXML and BPEL. The Open Source movement has shifted the way software is built and licensed, and the course that the life cycle of the software can take. Open Source Software offers significant cost and risk reductions over commercially available "closed source" software

为什么是开源软件? 怎样使之廉价和低风险?

  • No license fee

  • Source is available for changing.

  • Commoditized software, OSS components are based on a standards making them swappable with other components supporting the same standard.

  • The software is available freely for anyone to learn creating a vast pool of trained resources, no monetary cost of entry into the pool of trained resources.

  • Customers are not locked into a vendor. Vendors can't hold an enterprise hostage. The creator may vanish but the software won't.

Webswell believes that these factors make OSS components the most cost effective way to provide solutions that deliver support an Enterprise Service Architectures platform. There is future flexibility and significant commercial opportunity as the low cost allows Webswell to enter markets that "closed source" vendors cannot economically enter.
