Answer to Question 1

Mall-style CSPs provide small businesses with a basic Web site, online store design tools, storefront templates, and an easy-to-use interface. These service providers charge a low monthly fee and may also charge one-time setup fees (similar to basic CSPs), however, others also charge a percentage of or fixed amount for each customer transaction. Mallstyle CSPs provide shopping cart software or the ability to use another vendors shopping cart software. They also provide payment-processing services so the online store can accept credit cards.

Answer to Question 2

Companies are using Web services to offer improved customer service and reduce costs. In some companies, Web services are used to transmit the XML-tagged data from one application to another in enterprise application integration efforts. In other applications, Web services provide data feeds between two different companies. Many companies have found Web services to be less expensive and easier to implement than installing multiple middleware software programs.
