Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The definition given in the question is that of web services. EAI software refers to middleware that facilitates data integration between different systems, but does not necessarily require web communication standards. SOA (service-oriented architecture) refers to a design approach that emphasizes the creation of modular services that can be reused across multiple applications, but does not necessarily require web communication standards either. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) is a protocol used for exchanging structured information between web services, but is just one of several possible communication protocols. SaaS (Software as a Service) refers to a software delivery model in which applications are hosted by a provider and accessed over the internet, but does not necessarily involve the exchange of information between different software components.
