WaveMaker 6.0 Makes SaaS Simple
WaveMaker 6.0 Makes SaaS Simple
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 18, 2009
WaveMaker today announced general availability of the first open source cloud development platform. WaveMaker 6.0 is available under the Apache open source license, providing organizations with the features and benefits found in proprietary cloud development platforms – such as Force.com and Azure – at a fraction of the cost.
With an open source community of 15,000 active developers, WaveMaker has established itself as a leading rapid application development platform for cloud computing. WaveMaker’s browser-based, drag and drop platform makes it easy for anyone to prototype, develop and customize great looking web applications.
Because WaveMaker 6.0 was built using open source standards, it is the only cloud development platform to support deployment to any cloud, running on any Java server and connecting to any database. WaveMaker’s studio was even built using WaveMaker, demonstrating the power of WaveMaker technology.
WaveMaker 6.0 also introduces the industry’s first automated multi-tenant support. For this feature, WaveMaker’s server-side security module automatically isolates all database access between the tenants or customers of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) application.
WaveMaker also announced a reference application that demonstrates the capabilities of WaveMaker 6.0. This application, called EnterTweet, combines a standard employee directory application with the Twitter web services API to provide a customized Twitter client for the Enterprise. Best of all, this application was built and deployed as a multi-tenant application onto EC2 in less than 10 minutes! For more information, see the short WaveMaker EnterTweet video.
“WaveMaker’s open source cloud development platform provides an important approach for customers adopting cloud computing,” said Judith Hurwitz, author of Cloud Computing for Dummies and President of Hurwitz & Associates. “WaveMaker’s ability to create partnerships with IBM, Amazon and RightScale also illustrates the value of an open source business model.”
“WaveMaker is easing the migration path for Java developers who want to bring existing application logic and data into a SaaS environment, while still retaining control over their deployment options,” stated Phil Wainewright, industry analyst at Procullux Ventures. “With automated support for robust multi-tenant databases, WaveMaker 6.0 advances software developers even further along the path towards realizing the full benefits of the SaaS model.”
“Cloud computing is fast maturing, but one lagging indicator is developer tools designed specifically for cloud deployment,” said James Governor, principal analyst at RedMonk. “WaveMaker aims to change that with their 6.0 release, an open source toolset, and relationships with key players such as IBM, Amazon and RightScale.”

Computer Printers Procurement Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Computer Printers Procurement Research Report Now Available from IBISWorld
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 06, 2013
Computer printers have a buyer power score of 4.0 out of 5.0. The score reflects a beneficial pricing trend for buyers, with a steady decline during the past decade. Price-based competition has led to falling prices and greater purchasing power for buyers as vendors undercut each other’s prices. “Because of suppliers’ low profit margins and high competition from manufacturers overseas, buyers have some leverage when negotiating price; however, due to high market share concentration, buyers have few alternative suppliers to choose from,” IBISWorld procurement analyst Andrew Krabeepetcharat says.
There is no prevailing market price for computer printers because each printer is priced based on variety of factors. “The prices for computer printers are generally determined by quality, speed, variety of functions and reliability,” Krabeepetcharat says. Computer printers within a certain set of specifications have a low level of variability; however, computer printer suppliers offer a wide range of printers with different print qualities, speeds and functions, resulting in a broad price range. The HP Deskjet Printer 1000 can be purchased for $ 35, representing the low end of the price range, but a high-end, consumer-level printer with photo capabilities can cost more than $ 10,000, representing the high end of the price range. Currently, the market’s largest players include Canon Inc., Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company and Samsung.
The price of computer printers has been declining in the past decade. This is mainly because of the falling price of semiconductors and electronic components, which has prompted manufacturers and retailers to lower market prices to undercut competitors. During the three years to 2013, growing private investment in computers and software, and higher corporate profit have increased demand for computer printers, allowing suppliers to maintain prices that otherwise might not be possible. However, as the percentage of services conducted online continues to grow rapidly, computer printers will continue to become less essential for businesses, reducing overall demand and prompting suppliers to lower prices to incentivize buyers.
Due to a steady trend in declining prices, buyers do not need to enter into any long-term contracts. To avoid holding onto outdated equipment, buyers should purchase computer printers when they are needed. Furthermore, switching costs for buyers are low, giving buyers more influential negotiating power. Major vendors will offer competitive prices and customer service in an attempt to keep existing customers. For more information, visit IBISWorld’s Computer printers procurement research report page.
