Transformation to the Cloud: Software AG to Simplify Enterprise Cloud Adoption and deploy Full Cloud Portfolio on Amazon Web Services
Software
AG (Frankfurt TecDAX: SOW) today announced it will
launch a "Transformation to the Cloud" initiative with the objective of
helping enterprises to identify and implement their optimal cloud
adoption strategies. To support the initiative, Software AG has made the
strategic decision to deploy its entire cloud portfolio on the Amazon
Web Services (AWS) cloud over the course of 2015. Already running on AWS
are Software AG's Alfabet Cloud and ARIS Cloud product suites. These
cover all aspects of IT planning and portfolio management as well as the
whole area of business process analysis. They allow enterprises to
identify those IT assets that can make optimal use of the cloud from
ease of access, cost, regulatory and security perspectives and how to
transform business processes to the cloud. Software AG will also deploy
webMethods (News - Alert) Integration Cloud on AWS this year. This system offers
application integration capabilities for Cloud-to-Cloud and
Cloud-to-Ground use cases as a public cloud service.
From the Cloud to the Cloud
"Software AG is committed to increasing customer choice and ease of use
wherever possible and transformation to the cloud is a significant step
in this direction, delivering increased enterprise flexibility and
adaptability," said Wolfram Jost, CTO at Software AG. "Not only does
this help enterprises and government departments to design and implement
individual cloud strategies and architectures, it does so from the
cloud, delivering cost efficiencies from the start."
Transformation to the Cloud
Software AG is offering a unique portfolio of cloud services to enable
customers to design an optimal hybrid IT architecture and deploy
suitable processes, domains, systems and applications on the AWS cloud.
Using Software AG's Alfabet Cloud and ARIS Cloud on AWS will enable
customers to gain the maximum value from the cloud through a managed
business and IT transformation to a customer centric digital business.
This provides a unique, highly effective and secure approach to
establishing, transforming and running differentiating business
processes in the cloud.
Sftware AG will also deploy webMethods
Integration Cloud, an integration Platform-as-a-Service
(iPaaS) for cloud-to-cloud integration and seamless connections with
private cloud or on-premise enterprise service bus installations on AWS.
Finally, webMethods
AgileApps Cloud, a PaaS and on-premises solution for
creating situational and case management apps will also be run on AWS.
Designed for easy visual customization, webMethods AgileApps Cloud
enables subject matter experts to change processes, business rules,
e-forms, reports, dashboards, connect with Facebook or Twitter (News - Alert),
collaborate with team members and access information from any mobile
device.
Reduce costs while improving customer service
Software AG has chosen AWS as its strategic, global IaaS provider as it
is the clear market leader both in size and brand awareness among large
scale enterprises and due the resulting excellent operational
efficiencies. AWS offers the widest geographical coverage, significant
savings regarding external IaaS services and lower costs of
certification.
"Today, more than ever before, leading ISVs are looking for IT solutions
that allow them to move quickly, reduce costs, and better serve their
customers," said Terry Wise, Vice President, AWS. "Software AG is a
leading example of an innovative software vendor going all in on AWS to
leverage our secure, robust infrastructure platform, and expanding
global footprint to build highly differentiated, value-added solutions
for their customers."
Cloud Transformation and Partners
Software will expand the portfolio of cloud transformation services and
solutions through its partner program in 2015. The focus will be on
delivering strategic cloud adoption consulting services.
A strategic cloud planning process will be demonstrated at CEBIT 2015,
March 16-20, Hall 4, Stand C11.
