Webservices - what are the benefits?

Following quote from this Datamonitor report on Web Services is telling in that the future promise for anything as "simple" as WS, is never that simple. In particular its a technology solution, and it won't necessarily solve problems which businesses have to solve, such as strategy alignement.

"There can be no doubt that ‘real’ WS have arrived and that there are a plethora of viable development tools / environments available from the vendors profiled and many others. However, organizations must ensure that their WS deployments do not complicate integration matters further. Some organizations are finding that WS are making integration environments far more complex, as it is now so easy for developers to generate a WS. WS should compliment but not take precedence over good system design, and must be aligned to the short- and long-term business and IT strategies."
