I have an internal RPG/CGI webservice that in extreme cases can take 20 minutes to process a request (19+ minutes waiting on external services). Our Windows team (the consumers) right now is just waiting for the webservice to respond, but they want me to change my service to send a notification when it completes.

I can't think of a good way to do this.
