Believing that XML Web services are the next major application for the mid-market, Epicor Software Corp. is preparing its future applications to function as Web services based on Microsoft's .NET platform.
"In the future, software applications are going to be series of coupled Web services," says James Norwood, senior director of product marketing.
Epicor will deliver on this strategy soon after the launch of Microsoft Visual Studio .NET and Microsoft .NET Framework expected in January 2002.
