WEBSPHERE CHIEF: WEB SERVICES MOVEMENT JUST BEGINNING Donald Ferguson, an IBM chief architect and inventor of the WebSphere platform, said at Web Services Edge 2002 that the Web services movement has only just begun and that it will soon be even more meaningful than it is today. He also said that WebSphere will not devour Lotus Domino, and that IT is waging a war against its own complexity.
