September 4, 2007 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) -- Software as a service delivery provider OpSource (opsource.net) and on-demand integration provider Boomi (boomi.com) announced on Tuesday that the two firms have formed a partnership designed to accelerate the adoption of the on-demand delivery model by removing integration as a major barrier.
The SaaS industry has long been hindered by integration issues as software companies seeking to migrate their offerings to a SaaS delivery model are challenged with integrating their products with other SaaS and on-premise applications. The new partnership will enable Boomi to provide on-demand integration capabilities to companies building SaaS applications and OpSource will deliver and manage those applications.
Initially, Boomi On Demand will use the OpSource On-Demand Web application delivery platform to give OpSource clients integration capabilities within their products. On a long-term basis, the companies will combine the OpSource Services Bus and Boomi On Demand to enable native integration among all OpSource-delivered applications as well as a range of third party on-demand applications and on-premise applications.
"Integration is a key component of delivering an interoperable ecosystem," says Treb Ryan, CEO of OpSource. "Our partnership with Boomi enables our customers to offer integration-enabled applications quickly and economically, thus accelerating the growth of the SaaS market and furthering the adoption of OpSource On-Demand as the leading platform for Web application delivery."
