ISV's Challenge
Cloud computing has opened up a new set of opportunities for the Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) to develop and deliver their solutions via the web. However, many ISVs face a strong challenge in preparing their development teams for the transition to SaaS application development, as it requires them to build the architecture ground up and continuously maintain and upgrade the technology. While leveraging an easy to use multi tenant platform does seem a promising solution, ISVs do not want to be restricted to a standard user interface and need the flexibility of white labeled applications with custom UI. As they add more users to the application they would like to host the applications in their own infrastructure to control delivery and SLAs. |

WOLF introduces an easy to use and flexible rapid application development platform to design & deliver multi tenant SaaS applications on the Internet. The SaaS architecture is prebuilt in the platform and ISVs and SaaS Startups can work at a higher layer of abstraction with ready-to-use templates for forms, charts & reports and an easy to configure code free business rules engine to implement business logic. They also have the freedom to use custom UI. ISVs and SaaS Startups can either outsource the product development to our network of solution partners or gain competency on the platform through training sessions and undertake product development in house. Majority of ISVs decide to purchase a onetime run environment license of the platform and install it on their private server (behind the firewall) which gives them complete control on the infrastructure, SLAs and delivery of the applications. WOLF also has a rich network of solution partners who have an experience in developing SaaS applications for SaaS startups. Our partners completely take care of the end to end software development life cycle while SaaS startups can focus on working closely with their customers and reduce their time to market drastically!
Bypassing the need to build, tune and test the underlying infrastructure and working on a significantly higher level layer of abstraction cuts down the development cost significantly and shrinks the time scales. Multi tenant white labeled applications with the flexibility of personalized custom UI helps them keep the customer experience in mind. We help ISVs and SaaS Startups assess their needs and make informed decisions on what is core to their business and what they must retain in-house, and where they can benefit from outside services that are still closely integrated with their team.
