title: Best practice for Time Out values for SOAP/REST
body: <p>I'm working in a team running a Integration Platform for a enterprise with offices and servers all over world and we are struggling with teams building SOAP and/or REST services that has very slow response times (+30 seconds) and out integration platforms products will time out those requests.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried to tell these teams that a SOAP service that responding slower than 5-10 seconds is no longer to be considered as a synchronous service and the integration should be built differently, for example using out WMQ messaging platform or do long polling etc..</p>
  
  <p>I'm getting challenged to prove my point so can anyone point out any industry standard / best practice etc in regards to execution times and time outs for SOAP and REST?</p>
