I'm writing a system that needs to allow a third party external system to read/write data to/from it.
The system I'm developing will be implemented at client sites and the external systems that will read/write to/from it could be written in anything, so whatever I develop has to be technology agnostic.
The system I'm writing is in .Net, my first idea was XML Web services but as the communication between my system and the external systems will be on a local site rather that over the internet, I was wondering if there's a more efficient way.
I'm looking into WCF but I know little/nothing about it yet so I'm not sure if it's an option.
Any ideas?

Yeah, perhaps ask this question on a forum based on the subject in question.

How about a ReST API using XML or JSON?

Agreed - ReST APIs are becoming more and more common at the moment. Fairly easy to understand and use.

Whats to say in the future it won't be? I would develop the system with the possibility that it might be in the future?
