New Enterprise Application Development Platform Accelerates Time to Market for Technology Start-Ups and Internal Development Teams
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) WESTFORD, MA, July 14 / MARKET WIRE/ --
Aeturnum, Inc. (www.aeturnum.com), an emerging
provider of IT consulting and software product development services, today
announced the launch and general availability of Athiva, a new software
platform that dramatically reduces the time and cost associated with
developing, deploying and maintaining enterprise software applications and
products.
Athiva is an enterprise level development platform that leverages
ready-to-use and highly customizable business application services commonly
used in enterprise software products. With Athiva, users can shorten the
development lifecycle of any enterprise application or product by 40% to
70%. Aeturnum is targeting Athiva at early-stage software product companies
and internal IT organizations that depend on efficient development
processes to operate their businesses and compete effectively.
Argosy Publishing (www.argosypublishing.com/), a Massachusetts-based
provider of interactive content for the publishing industry, has used
Athiva to develop the first phase of its product, 'Visible Body'
(www.visiblebody.com). The company cut its development time and costs by
over 50% using the platform for its internal software development efforts.

"Using Athiva, we were able to offer a plethora of features in version 1.0
of our product within a period of just two months," said Andrew Bowditch,
CEO of Argosy. "Without it, it would have taken us at least seven months to
complete that same development work. The platform is very comprehensive,
easy to use and highly compatible with our technology environment."
Most early-stage companies and IT organizations engaged in software product
or application development expend an inordinate number of cycles and
precious capital developing common services and business logic. This slows
their time to market and dilutes their efforts to innovate and
differentiate their software products around their core intellectual
property. Athiva eliminates the need to develop common business services
from scratch, or to integrate disparate business services to form a common
interoperable services layer. As a result, development teams can
dramatically accelerate development time and focus on their organizations'
core intellectual property and unique differentiation.
The Athiva platform provides a flexible architecture that incorporates best
practices in application development and combines common services and
business logic that are specific to a product, enterprise application or IT
organization. Using a layered approach, the platform reduces redundancy by
maximizing the re-use of these common services through a host of different
modules that are easily customized to support the unique needs of different
businesses and users. Athiva is available in both J2EE and .NET and is
fully compatible with all widely used technology stacks and supports all
major databases including MySQL, Oracle, MS SQL Server and DB2. It
includes the business application services and logic that are common to
most software products and enterprise applications, including:
-- Access Management
-- Identity and Security Management
-- Electronic Presentment and Payment
-- Reporting
-- Business Intelligence (BI)
-- Workflow Management
-- Hierarchy Management
"Athiva provides the core foundation for robust and efficient product and
enterprise application development," said Dhanushyantha Hettiarachchi
(Hetti), Aeturnum's chief technology officer. "Users can rapidly develop
and deploy the base modules common to most software products and quickly
add new features through easily customizable API's. For software companies
and resource-constrained internal IT groups, Athiva can dramatically
streamline the development process and provide unprecedented support to
their ongoing development initiatives."
