WSO2 Kicks Off Beta Program for WSO2 AppFactory Cloud-enabled Enterprise DevOps Platform

PALO ALTO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The cloud is opening doors to new business models within enterprises and across their partner networks. However, it also is spurring the proliferation of stovepipe deployments and shadow IT projects that are disconnected from enterprises’ strategic initiatives, core operational systems, and corporate policies. WSO2 is addressing this challenge with WSO2 App Factory, a shared, multi-tenant and elastic cloud-based enterprise DevOps platform. WSO2 today announced that it is now accepting a limited number of applicants for the WSO2 App Factory beta program.

Cloud-enabled DevOps Platform Fosters Collaboration and Compliance

WSO2 App Factory empowers teams to collaboratively create, develop and deploy enterprise applications into cloud environments—without the delay of server provisioning. Robust lifecycle management and governance ensure compliance with IT, corporate and government policies. At the same time, the ability to create an Apple or Google Marketplace-like store means developers can easily subscribe to and consume APIs, applications and gadgets.

By using WSO2 App Factory to deliver a self-service development collaboration platform, enterprises can extend their business capabilities across a connected ecosystem of participants in order to accelerate their business activity. Additionally, enterprises can recognize new business opportunities, including greater utilization of the long tail, by enabling lower interaction costs and managed integration across a value web of suppliers, channel partners, distributors and customers.

WSO2 App Factory is built on the award-winning 100% open source WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform and WSO2 Stratos platform-as-a-service (PaaS) foundation. It also enables the integration of popular software development and operations offerings, such as Jenkins, Maven, Puppet, Bamboo, Jira, FindBugs and JUnit, to name a few.
