WSO2

The cloud, mobile, APIs, and Internet of Things (IoT) are enabling enterprises to create new connections across employees, customers and partners. Today, at Forrester’s Forum For Technology Management Leaders 2014, WSO2 Co-founder and CTO Paul Fremantle will discuss the technology strategies companies can implement to realize the promise of a connected business.

WSO2 is a Platinum Sponsor at Forrester’s Forum For Technology Management Leaders 2014, which will run June 12–13, 2014 at Park Plaza Westminster Bridge in London.

Enabling the Connected Business

Paul’s session, “The Evolution of a Connected Business,” is part of the “Develop Digital Solutions Track.” It will run from 2:15–2:45 p.m. on Thursday, June 12, 2014.

In his session, Paul will discuss the integrated, adaptive, accessible and collaborative environment required to build a connected business, as well as how APIs, cloud computing, and mobile create and enhance new business models. He will begin by examining the importance of APIs to organizations and how cloud development can be transformative. He then will examine how to integrate mobile and IoT technologies to create a connected business.

Additionally, Paul will review use cases of organizations that have connected their digital ecosystems—examining how and why they took the approaches that they did, as well as the results they have achieved.

Integrated Open Source Approach to the Connected Business

The WSO2 booth at Forrester’s Forum For Technology Management Leaders will have experts available to discuss the synergistic, integrated approach of WSO2’s 100% open source platforms in addressing the demands of the connected business. They include the comprehensive WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform, WSO2 Enterprise Mobility Manager, WSO2 App Factory cloud-enabled DevOps platform, WSO2 Private PaaS and WSO2 Public Cloud.

Significantly, all WSO2 solutions are built on the same fully componentized, OSGI-compliant code base.

In addition to WSO2 cloud platforms, all WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware products also are fully multitenant and cloud-ready. This means IT professionals can write an application once and deploy it on the same middleware on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
