Servoy 5.2 Open Source Named eWEEK “Product to Watch” for Enterprise IT Decision Makers

June 16, 2010 - PRLog -- Servoy, the platform that simplifies SaaS, today announced that eWEEK, the industry leader for strategic technology information, recently selected Servoy 5.2 Open Source as a “Product to Watch” in the June issue of its award-winning print magazine. Servoy 5.2 was honored by eWEEK for its award-winning hybrid SaaS platform, allowing “SaaS and Back” hybrid applications  -- which can be deployed using cloud computing and on-premises through both a browser and a native client – all from a single code base.

Each month, the editors of eWEEK recognize enterprise-class products that they think should be on the radar of every IT professional. The products are selected on the basis of their potential for creating efficiency as well as competitive advantage in a market where companies need to stay a step ahead of their competitors.

“We are thrilled that Servoy has been named a 'Product to Watch' for the second consecutive time,” said Jan Aleman, CEO, Servoy. “This recognition further reinforces the positive feedback we’ve been hearing from our customers – that Servoy 5.2 is the only agile, scalable open source technology that allows browser and native deployment from a single code base. Servoy increases the capabilities of developers and fills a huge gap that is not being addressed by any other tools in the marketplace.”

In a relatively weak economy, Servoy has seen strong demand for its new technology, opening more than a dozen offices worldwide in the past year. “Companies are required to do more with less in the present economic environment,” added Aleman. “All business decisions need to be ROI-driven, and gone are the days when you had the luxury of working for months, if not years to develop and deploy applications.”
