SoftwareCEO/CompTIA Recognizes OpSource as an Innovative Software Pioneer
Santa Clara, Calif., April 21, 2008 -- OpSource™ announced today that OpSource Connect™, the SaaS solution for Web services, has been selected as a finalist for the "Most Innovative Software for the Software Industry" in the second annual SoftwareCEO/CompTIA Awards. The awards are presented by The Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA), the leading trade association for the world's IT industry.
OpSource Connect allows SaaS and Web companies to consume and publish multiple Web services across a common, secure platform - the OpSource Services Bus™ (OSB). OpSource Connect solves the problem of SaaS integration by unifying SaaS applications in the "cloud" and with legacy enterprise applications behind the corporate firewall. As a result, SaaS applications will no longer function in silos; instead, they can be leveraged in new and expanded markets.
"SoftwareCEO's annual Software Innovation Awards recognize our industry's efforts and accomplishments in bringing innovative products and new business models to market," said David Sommer, chief operating officer, CompTIA, and publisher of SoftwareCEO. "The companies selected as finalists for these prestigious awards are delivering real business value to customers with their products and services. We are pleased to recognize their achievements."
OpSource CEO Treb Ryan said, "OpSource Connect is changing the way companies build and deploy SaaS applications. Through OpSource Connect, our customers can use the OpSource Services Bus, a multi-tenant enterprise services bus, to provide their own application as a Web service and to integrate with a wide variety of other SaaS and legacy software applications. It's what we call a 'write once, integrate with all' capability that our customers have never experienced before, and one that will reduce their development costs and enable them to reach new markets."
OpSource On-Demand™, the company's complete Web operations solution, offers a number of business operations capabilities that can be used in conjunction with OpSource Connect. These capabilities include OpSource Billing™, OpSource Analytics™ and OpSource End-User Support™, all of which can be integrated into any Web services enabled SaaS application. The newest service, OpSource Billing, an end-to-end subscription management, metering and payment solution, is available as a stand-alone service as well as an integrated component of OpSource On-Demand.
Ryan added, "We're honored to be recognized by SoftwareCEO/CompTIA Awards as a finalist in the 'Most Innovative Software' category. We are committed to continuing to innovate and to breaking down the barriers to the adoption of SaaS."
In 2007, OpSource On-Demand™ won the "Most Innovative Service/Business Model" in the inaugural SoftwareCEO/CompTIA Software Innovation Awards. This year's awards will be presented at The Software Marketing Perspectives (SMP) Conference & Expo scheduled for May 7 - 9, 2008, at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Santa Clara, Calif.
