Corent Technology Releases SaaS-Enablement Software Platform for ISVs

SaaS (News - Alert)-enablement software provider Corent Technology has released a SaaS-enablement software platform for software vendors called SurPaaS, which is designed to help ISVs save investment in both development time and R&D costs.

SurPaaS provides self-service on-boarding capabilities and management of tenants, subscription management, SaaS lifecycle management, monitoring, metering, billing integration, business reporting, key performance metrics and dashboards necessary to proactively and efficiently manage and grow a SaaS business, according to Feyzi Fatehi, CEO of Corent.

“Transforming software applications into SaaS rapidly, efficiently, and cost effectively, SurPaaS saves software vendors years of development time and millions of dollars in R&D costs it takes to achieve scalable, cloud-ready and sustainable SaaS,” Corent said in a statement.

According to Gartner (News - Alert), SaaS will be a key driver of cloud usage and consumption for the years to come, predicting that the $14.5 billion SaaS market in 2012 will expand to $22.1 billion by 2015.

Corent Technology is hoping to position SurPaaS as a “PaaS for SaaS” to further accelerate this growth with earlier versions already in use by companies such as Boeing (News - Alert), the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, EMAS Pro, an established education software provider, and uPhotoMeasure, a SaaS leader in digital distance measurement, among others.

“We wanted ready access to a global audience at a very economical price point, and delivering our offerings in a SaaS model certainly allows us to fulfill those goals,” said Anil Thakkar, director of product management at Thinxtream. “However, we realized that there are a number of issues that companies need to deal with when they decide to become a SaaS provider; such as customer provisioning, subscription management and billing services. We found Corent and their SurPaaS platform to be a great fit for our needs.”

SurPaaS can provide SaaS solutions in single or multi-tenancy models, and can support multiple tenancy models simultaneously to enable a range of subscription offerings. It also allows ISVs to choose the application development platform, application technology stack, and the cloud of their choice.
