Scio Consulting Partners with Apprenda for Rapid SaaS Product Enablement
We don’t often “push” our own services here, we see our mission on Haut Tec to be a part of the conversation around Cloud Computing and software technologies in general. But, I’m excited to say – today’s announcement is one of the exceptions:
As a part of their continued efforts to bring value to their customers, Scio Consulting and Apprenda have announced a strategic partnership to offer enablement services for software companies looking to bring their products to the on-demand business model rapidly and efficiently by using Apprenda’s SaaSGrid™, a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) delivery platform.
SaaSGrid drastically slashes time to market for independent software vendors (ISVs) by automatically weaving a SaaS architecture and business functionality into their non-SaaS web applications, while providing significant long-term value via web-based application management capabilities.
“Essentially, we’ve done for on-demand software development what the operating system did for desktop software development. We’ve created a cloud operating system for SaaS, which provides a new layer of abstraction that takes the burden of creating SaaS-specific technology, architecture and business components off of ISVs shoulders,” said Apprenda’s CEO, Sinclair Schuller.
ISVs that choose SaaSGrid as a foundation shave off massive amounts of development time and capital requirements that would have previously been allocated to SaaS delivery intricacies. This allows ISVs to bring their solutions to market faster than ever before, utilizing SaaSGrid’s out-of-the-box functionality.
SaaSGrid's zero effort multi-tenancy isolates your customers by handling data partitioning, request routing, and authorization security as part of the package.
“It is a pleasure to partner with Scio, a company that shares our enthusiasm and vision of an on-demand future,” said Sinclair Schuller. “Software companies that want to create new SaaS offerings often need assistance with their business and product strategies, with developing their SaaS applications, or with modifying the code of an existing on-premise application to move it to SaaS. Our relationship with Scio enables us to help customers more easily obtain such services and make a smooth transition to SaaS with SaaSGrid.”
SaaSGrid has been evaluated by Scio Consulting and found to be an excellent tool for reducing costs and time to market for their ISV customers.
“Scio has been developing custom SaaS applications for years utilizing .NET and open source technologies . Using Agile practices and our Nearshore Development Center in Morelia, Mexico, we are typically able to deliver new SaaS applications in 4-9 months. Now with SaaSGrid, we will be able to build SaaS applications for our clients faster and more economically than ever before,” states Luis Aburto, CEO of Scio Consulting.
Rather than requiring the use of a proprietary technology stack, SaaSGrid applications are built using the industry-hardened Microsoft .NET stack and the SaaSGrid SDK. The SDK hooks into Microsoft’s Visual Studio, and provides an integrated development environment that allows a software company to write business code, user interfaces, and databases locally by using popular .NET languages like C#.
- SaaSGrid applications are built using Microsoft .NET and the Microsoft family of technologies, allowing you to quickly port your application and utilize off the shelf or open source components.
