A Web services framework provides infrastructure that allows companies to effectively control all their Web services by collecting the commonly disparate functions of Web services, including development, integration, management, orchestration, registry, security, and governance. These elements are crucial to tractable, well-coordinated, and secure service deployments, but individual domains must remain important. A Web services framework provides a holistic view of Web services management while linking important functional components in such a way that an organization can have centralized rather than silo-based control over Web services deployments. A Web services framework is an architecture model and is dealt with through a combining of technology products, methodologies, and people. Technologies are purchased, and responsibilities are assigned for handling of a Web services framework. Each delegate should bring domain-specific expertise to the Web services framework as well as knowledge of what the organization is doing in that domain and how that work will interrelate with work in other domains. Companies can take on the product aspect needs of Web services frameworks through the use of established technology products or with the purchase of new ones. They can build a best of breed product, or they can build a product based on emerging specifications and standards. A combination of all those choices can also be used.
