Webservice data into standard edit pages

I've heard there's a sensible way of doing this. Basically I want to pull in some data from a webservice, based on the value in one field, to populate the values of other fields after a little processing. This really needs to be on the standard account/contact/lead edit pages, it involves standard fields, and needs to look as integrated as possible.

At the moment the only way I can see to do this is by hacking in a bit of javascript from a sidebar component, this works fine, but I'm looking for a more salesforce friendly approach if possible (Apex/Visualforce etc)
