SOAP specialists for your dedicated team.

Where SOAP fits in a long-term product team.

SOAP persists because it offers things REST does not standardise. A WSDL is a machine-readable contract from which clients are generated, and the WS-* standards cover message-level security, transactions and reliable delivery in ways that require bespoke implementation elsewhere.

It is verbose and the tooling has aged, but a working SOAP integration with a bank or a government service is not a candidate for modernisation simply because the protocol is unfashionable. The other end is not changing.

What your dedicated team does with SOAP.

Most SOAP work is consuming someone else's service, which means their conventions, their quirks and their undocumented behaviour. Namespace handling, optional element semantics and fault structures all vary in ways the WSDL does not fully capture.

Working well within those constraints is the job, and how that scope is agreed is described in how it works.

Common SOAP use cases.

• Integrating with institutional services Banking and government endpoints where SOAP is what is offered.
• Contracts that generate clients WSDL-driven code generation, keeping the client in step with the contract.
• Message-level security where required WS-Security signing and encryption when transport security is not sufficient.

Adding SOAP skills to your team.

Legacy protocol integration sits with development capacity, working within the other party's constraints.

At Azendo, SOAP work sits with a dedicated AI automation team. Every SOAP specialist we assign works remotely inside your tools as a dedicated member of your team, with the management on our side. It is how companies hire remote developers without opening an offshore office of their own.
