Cloud / SaaS Technical Empowerment
Progress offers one of the leading development and deployment platforms for building SaaS business applications. Given the growth and resiliency of this market, all types of IT vendors are seeking to seize the opportunity, including many "specialized" ISVs, whose vertical domain expertise equip them to readily transition to the SaaS model.
Progress is focusing on the technologies that facilitate the development of a new generation of highly specialized applications by creating a SaaS framework, specifically designed to expose defined business processes for integration within and between applications/organizations.
SaaS Technical Empowerment programs are meant to help Progress’ SaaS partners begin to understand what they need to consider before undertaking the effort of potentially re-architecting and then deploying their application as a service. Including questions such as:
- Based on your market requirements, should the application support multiple customers within the same instance of both the application and the database, also known as multi-tenancy?
- How should the business design for flexibility, maximum scalability and high availability (7 x 24 x 365) requirements?
- What instrumentation may need to be added to the application to support, monitor and govern the application services and operating environment to meet service-level agreements?
- How development and support lifecycles need to change in an environment where updates and fixes are expected much more frequently in order to stay competitive?
- The ability to generate revenue is directly related to the availability of the service to paying customers. How does that translate to the decisions made regarding hosting and delivery infrastructure, service level agreements, and ongoing support?
- What service delivery infrastructure to consider to optimally scale with demand, to both deliver a quality service experience, and minimize cost?
