Hello, we are a company with over 100 employees and resources in PHP, J2EE and .NET, and can execute the SOAP and database work in any of these environments. I suggest that we take a decision on the technology after evaluating our existing setup and figuring out what would work best with your current technology environment. We have been working with XML, SOAP and web services since 2002 with many successful integrations, and I will provide case studies and referral information in the private message board. Our typical charges are at $12 per hour. A few words on us: Ceruleaninfotech is an ISO 9001:2000 company and co-founded by a team of professionals with more than 40 years of work experience with Citibank, Merrill Lynch, Hewlett Packard and Timex. We specialize in web technologies and our solutions are used in mission critical applications by Citibank, Duke University Health Systems, Newscorp and SIFY. These applications run in the UK, USA, Spain, Belgium, Greece, Ireland and Asia. We are a top-rated Service Provider and would be delighted to work with you. Best regards, Paul.
