Software AG has launched its first cloud-based platform as a service (PaaS) suite.
Organisations are being pressed to develop and deploy agile, scalable and secure solutions within days, rather than months. To address the changing needs of the business environment, a new set of solutions is needed to engage with customers and leverage the impact the industry is seeing by the megatrends of cloud, social, mobile and big data.
By extending its business process and integration leadership to the cloud, Software AG offers a complete PaaS suite, unifying process design, agile application development and integration, while enabling customers to utilise hybrid cloud deployments to support their business needs.
According to a May 2013 Gartner forecast, revenue for PaaS is growing from $1,2-billion in 2012 to $3,5-billion in 2017. Within the PaaS market, application infrastructure and middleware makes up the largest sub-segment comprising 72% of the market.
“As the industry has evolved, we’ve seen the needs of our clients change with it,” says Karl-Heinz Streibich, CEO of Software AG. “With this launch, we are welcoming the next phase of Software AG, to help our customers create a truly digital enterprise and embrace the opportunities that cloud deployments offer.”
The Software AG Live suite is comprised of:
* AgileApps Live, a high-productivity application PaaS, implemented on technology from recently acquired LongJump. With AgileApps Live organisations achieve business-driven innovation managed by IT.
This new offering provides unique flexibility to adapt to changing business processes, regulations and other business needs. All applications built on AgileApps Live instantly deploy on mobile devices and come with pre-build integration across social networks. AgileApps Live is available immediately.
* Process Live, a collaborative business process analysis PaaS, enables users to collaborate across departments and geographies to improve requirements management and design of business processes. Process Live is compatible with Software AG’s market-leading ARIS Business Process Analysis platform and will be available in the second half of 2013.
* Integration Live, an integration PaaS which enables cloud-to-cloud integration and seamlessly connects with private cloud or on-premise enterprise service bus (ESB) installations. Integration Live is offering an unmatched combination of ease-of-use and enterprise-strength and is compatible with webMethods Integration Server, the market leading ESB from Software AG. Availability is scheduled for Q1 of 2014.
In addition, Software AG has announces Dynamic Cloud Scaling, a new capability of Software AG’s webMethods Integration Server that supports elastic scaling across hybrid deployments – public cloud, private cloud and on-premise – and will be available in the second half of 2013.
Customers will have the choice of managing deployments themselves or taking advantage of Software AG Managed Suite. This new offering includes components such as the webMethods Integration Server managed by Software AG as-a-service in customer’s data centres or on the public cloud. This offering will also be available later in the year.
