EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) converts standard data, so this way optimizes the process of trade between the companies and eliminates almost the paper working and manual intervene.But the cost of the translating software and private network are so high,that generally only big companies and their suppliers can afford EDI.Although the government and enterprise promote the developing of the EDI,in fact the prevalence of EDI is far from the their expectation.Webservice provide a platform for almost limitiess interoperability among different programs and platforms. They're built on HTTP and XML, and they exchange information using Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP).
