Symphony Services Helps ISVs Adopt Oracle SaaS Platform

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--NEWS FACTS:

“The standards-based, secure, and scalable software of the Oracle SaaS Platform enables partners to rapidly build, deploy and manage applications in a software as a service delivery model.”

Symphony Services is the global leader in product engineering outsourcing services focusing on independent software vendors (ISVs), software enabled businesses and embedded companies.
At Oracle OpenWorld (November 11-15, 2007 in San Francisco), Oracle announced exceptional momentum for the Oracle Software as a Service (SaaS) Platform, which includes software that helps enable SaaS vendors in their efforts to build, deploy and manage SaaS applications. See Oracle’s press release, “Oracle SaaS Platform is Leading Choice for Growing Number of Companies Offering Software as a Service,” for more details (November 12, 2007).
The move from an on-premise to on-demand business model impacts every aspect of an ISV’s business. Symphony’s full product lifecycle approach to SaaS software engineering provides a flexible, holistic strategy for ISVs at multiple stages of embracing SaaS – whether simply contemplating the transition, or in the midst of planning or executing.
Symphony's SaaS Transition Services program helps companies make a smooth transition from an on-premise business to a SaaS platform through a combination of consulting, development and operational services.
Symphony takes ISVs through a detailed assessment process resulting in a comprehensive SaaS Transition roadmap that maximizes the performance of the system, and minimizes total cost of operation and time to market.
Symphony provides architectural consulting, development, testing and operational support services (professional services and support) as part of its transition services.
Symphony is creating a partner ecosystem to address client needs along the SaaS journey by building relationships with leading SaaS hosting companies and core technology providers to deliver a comprehensive solution.
Worldwide total software revenue for SaaS within the enterprise software markets is projected to surpass $5.1 billion in 2007, a 21 percent increase from 2006 revenue, according to Gartner. The market is poised for strong growth through 2011, when worldwide revenue will reach $11.5 billion¹.
