 "Persistent Systems Launches SaaS Initiatives For ISVs")
Persistent Systems, a provider of Outsourced Product Development (OPD) services, has announced its Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) enablement initiative for independent software vendors (ISVs). ISVs can leverage Persistent’s SaaS Competency Centre and Migration Services to seamlessly migrate their applications onto the Oracle Platform. The Oracle Platform includes Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle Enterprise Manager, and Oracle VM, an integrated set of technologies that allow ISVs to build, deploy and manage SaaS and cloud-based applications.
Persistent has built a model that allows short, medium and long-term SaaS deployment goals to be realised cost-effectively, and with minimum risk. Persistent’s service offering on the Oracle stack includes rapid development of metadata-driven, customisable, service-oriented applications with Web2.0 style UI using Oracle Application Development Framework; deployment of the application on a scalable, grid platform comprising Oracle Database, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Oracle VM; service level agreement (SLA) modeling and enforcement with a top-down application management approach using Oracle Enterprise Manager; security for hosted on-demand applications using Oracle Identity Management and Oracle Advanced Security; development of operational reports and in-context actionable insight using Oracle Business Intelligence; and building comprehensive data and business process integration using Oracle SOA suite.
Persistent has established a dedicated SaaS Competency Centre to provide the underlying infrastructure for development and deployment of SaaS services. Based in Pune, India, the Persistent SaaS Competency Centre focuses on the following:
- Assessing product and feature fit for SaaS enablement - architecture, scalability, usability, and security
- Implementing and managing SaaS-based product offerings, including operational management and metering
- Leveraging its development framework for rapid and cost-effective deployment
- Creating a development ecosystem around the SaaS offering
