Jan Aleman, Servoy CEO, will be featured as a keynote speaker at this year’s conference on Software as a Service in Denver, CO on April 26-28. Mr. Aleman’s presentation, “Europe, SaaS, and the Cloud”, will provide a continent-wide perspective on EuroSaaS and the growth of “Cloud” acceptance. Individual markets will be discussed and analyzed, with a focus on what types of localization, marketing, technical issues and challenges characterize each market. In addition, Mr. Aleman will be discussing where American companies can expect European companies to attempt to “colonize” the New World.

Cloud Computing Journal has published an article titled “Hybrid Cloud - The Green Future” written by Jan Aleman, Servoy CEO.

Here is a snippet from the article:

“Cloud adoption has been steadily growing over the years, but both in spite of and because of the economy, 2010 promises to be the inflection point of wide-scale cloud adoption. Those companies that were unaware, or semi-aware of the Cloud can no longer ignore the strong value proposition of access to previously inaccessible productivity tools; the ability to collaborate with teams, partners and customers; shifting focus from IT to business, and improving speed-to-market through instantly set up solutions.”

Please join Sean Devlin, Servoy Senior Technical Engineer, who will discuss in this informative, one-hour webinar what is new in the world of Servoy Frameworks. Servoy has been developing a second generation suite of frameworks to enhance developer productivity and help to build more robust applications.

At the forefront of Servoy’s next generation of frameworks is security and multi-tenancy. Every application requires different levels of security and the ability to control users, groups, passwords, privileges etc. And most ISVs (Independent Software Vendors) will require a multi-tenant application when they adopt a SaaS (Software as a Service) offering. For these reasons, Servoy has been developing a Security Framework that relies on best practices to deliver functionality common to most applications and helps developers to get it right the FIRST time.

Servoy announced the first open source version of its award-winning SaaS application development platform, Servoy 5.2, using PostgreSQL. This change to an open source version, means that Servoy users have enormous flexibility in deployment to cloud hosting or desktop systems; as well as enables open source developers looking for RAD tools, rapid prototyping and data application development to utilize a mature, easy-to-use environment.

“We chose PostgresSQL because it is the most powerful open source database,” said Jan Aleman, CEO, Servoy. “Users can also run other databases at the same time. We support Sybase, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB/2, MySQL and others out of the box.” PostgreSQL has won praise from its users and industry recognition, including the Linux New Media Award for Best Database System and five-time winner of the Linux Journal Editors’ Choice Award for best DBMS.
