ProcessPad delivers information intelligenceWeb Service is a collection of protocols and standards used for exchanging data between applications, written in different programming languages and running on different platforms. ProcessPad is the discovery software that allows users to define how they want to use new or existing processes through the companies Workflow Engine.
The interoperability between applications is achieved by naming the protocol for exchanging data in ProcessPad and then defining activity in the process by exposing and accessing the web services.

- Communication Protocols
HTTP, FTP and SMTP protocols, which are used to transport data between applications.
- WSDL
