The Ecademy Launches New Web Site Incorporating WSindex.org Web Services Directory

The Ecademy- The E-business Network (http://www.theecademy.com) is one of the oldest Internet communities devoted to e-Business with over 10,000 members in 105 countries. It has increased the awareness of Web Services in the international business community and in its re-launched web site has chosen WSindex.org as an important information partner.

For the past four years since its foundation the Ecademy has been at the forefront of disseminating information and fostering community amongst professionals interested in e-Commerce, e-Business and the Internet. Chief Knowledge Officer, Thomas Power is a widely respected e-Business guru in the European Internet community and has developed a unique educational framework, the 12 Principles of E-business to help businesses learn about and benefit from Internet technologies. The vast majority of Ecademy members (known as Ecademists") receive regular monthly Guru comments from Thomas.

Very early on in the appearance of Web Services Power realised the importance of disseminating the message about the business potential. Whether you are a beginner wanting to learn from the grass roots or an E-business professional, Ecademy is the place to increase your knowledge and network with others in E-business and Web Services. Our Ecademy Solutions Group (ESG) is Europes centre of expertise for XML and Web Services consulting and solutions delivery" comments Thomas Power.

Louis Berk, founder of WSindex.org, has been an Ecademist since its inception and was one of our first members to pass the Ecademy E-appraisal. Therefore it seemed a logical step to incorporate his Web Services directory directly into The Ecademys web-site as a key resource for our members" added Glenn Watkins, Chief Executive Officer of The Ecademy.

WSindex currently contains over 500 researched links and resources relating to Web Services, the Semantic Web, XML, SOAP, WSDL and other directly related topics. It is growing at approximately ten entries a day from companies and organisations interested in promoting themselves in an information source that is entirely devoted to Web Services.

I am delighted to be able to put something back into The Ecademy which has been a superb source of e-Business information and network of contacts during the last 4 years", says Louis Berk, Chief Executive Officer of WSindex.org. As a result of the incorporation of WSindex in The Ecademy web site we have now signed a deal with one other company to provide the same service and we are expecting to sign with several other anchor partners in the next two months," Berk added.
