Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud has a flexible interface that helps you access new Informatica AddressDoctor Cloud features without changing the WSDL. For example, the Version 4 Web Service defined enumerators for all parameters. Adding more options to the previous web service meant modifications to the interface.
