Any production testimonials?

[Benjamin Tomasini <bt...@neteverything.com>]

Hello,

I have just completed the first phase of a web services project for a
client of mine.  I decided to use Axis as opposed to another (expensive)
commercial product they were evaluating.  The first phase was a success,
and I found Axis to be much simpler and faster to develop with.  Looks
like the client may save some real $$.

However, corporate clients tend to like to know that someone else has
used a piece of software before they put themselves on the line.  I
guess open-source projects don't have the kind of hype and buzzwords
around them that commercial products do. :)  - rather refreshing.

It would be great if anyone has some real-life testimonials of using
Axis in production and under real load, especially for a corporate
client.  Specific names are not necessary.  Would be great to hear.

Ben

Ben, we at Organox are using Axis to develop the 2nd generation of our 
content aggregation portal. In Brazil our technology is licensed to 
BankBoston, enabling them to publish the contry's first account 
aggregation service.

Now we switched our proprietary XML carrier protocol to SOAP with 
attachments, and Axis is performing very well at this task. It will soon 
  be in production and, as usual, the customer will not even note the 
change. New features, same price, same performance.

IMHO... most corporate customers have minimal experience with XML 
technology, thus had no time to stablish "corporate standards" or other 
references for comparison.

Good... (no discussions on which tool to use)
Bad! (those guys will never grasp why Axis is better)
