1. Introduction:
The Innovation Process begins with the generation of new ideas, which result in a
marketable product. The idea emerges from the fusion of the potential need in the market
and the technological possibilities. Society is influenced by Web technology. This
Technological innovation will continue to play an increasingly prominent role in
organizational systems and in all businesses, social and personal relationships as it is the
vehicle or agent of web services.
Technological innovation depends not only on the technological feasibility and economic
profitability but also on its social acceptability. The idea of a tightly linked social network
has been directly related to the diffusion of internal software innovation in the form of
user-developed interaction.
Innovations and information are interconnected. Diffusion of innovation happens through
the appropriate flow of information. When new products are being planned all producers
have to keep up with the current state and future developments of society’s aims and
needs. For the diffusion of innovation information is needed. Now, let us see what is
diffusion of information is.
Web services are applications to send data and instruction to one another, with no data
translation or conversion required. Because internet is used the connection problems are
minimized.
