We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.
iWay Software, an Information Builders company, today announced its robust, enterprise integration solutions are now available on-demand with the release of iWay Cloud Services for Amazon Elastic Cloud Computing (EC2). iWay Software's on-demand solution dramatically reduces administrative costs, and does not require users to purchase, deploy or test expensive hardware, meaning companies of all sizes now have simplified, affordable access to the enterprise integration and data access solutions they need to support a variety of critical initiatives.
More than 2,200 delegates attended the 4th International Cloud Computing Expo held at Santa Clara Convention Center in California.
Offering end-to-end integration capabilities, iWay Cloud Services for Amazon EC2 provides users secure connections to internal applications, systems, and databases within corporate firewalls, access to Internet-based Web services and databases, and can be easily integrated with other SaaS based solutions. Eliminating the need for onsite installation, iWay Cloud Services for Amazon EC2 enables organizations to quickly and easily deploy cutting-edge integration technologies in the cloud, without devoting IT resources to ongoing maintenance or paying the high licensing fees typically associated with onsite solutions.
"It's no secret that as global spending for on-demand solutions continues to rise, the market for technologies delivered via the SaaS model is exploding -- and with good reason, said Gerald Cohen, president and CEO of Information Builders. "On-demand solutions are affordable, intuitive and easily accessible anywhere and anytime to companies of all sizes. At Information Builders, we are continuously working to provide our clients with the most cutting-edge enterprise information management (EIM), business integration and business intelligence (BI) technology iWay Cloud Services for Amazon EC2 is the next step in that effort."
Another key iWay adapter deployed to Amazon EC2 via iWay Cloud Services is the iWay Salesforce.com adapter. Deployed in both Enterprise Search and Data Profiling / Data Quality applications available on a SaaS model, the adapter also supports integration with other corporate applications such as SAP and Oracle.
