The Insider's Guide to Next-Generation BPM
02/27/2008
Rollbase today released an on-demand application development and delivery platform and opened up its public beta program, offering a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) for nontechnical users.
ebizQ received the following:
Business users, IT professionals and Web developers can use Rollbase to design, develop and deploy custom Web-based applications using highly intuitive and interactive tools within a standard Web browser. By providing an easy to learn and flexible toolset in a rich AJAX-based user experience, Rollbase makes rapid Web-based application development possible for people who may not have the time, resources or expertise to create on-demand applications using traditional software development methods.
Most Flexible Platform-as-a-Service for Business Users
The Rollbase platform offers many competitive advantages, including:
All Rollbase applications are designed, developed and deployed using a standard Web browser and run on the Rollbase platform as Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) applications that require no additional hardware or software infrastructure. Rollbase is the first PaaS developed specifically for business users that allows the creation of sophisticated applications, which can extend beyond the user interface framework of the application builder itself.
Beta users of Rollbase have received it with enthusiasm. Matt Ireland of Mortgage Choice, Australia’s leading mortgage broker, has worked with the platform in its beta stage. “I’ve been able to use Rollbase to rapidly develop some very useful tools for our business without wasting any time having to learn the product,” he said. “This is the future of software development.”
The Rollbase Application Directory
Cloud computing platforms are completely changing the way applications are developed and delivered. In conjunction with the Rollbase Platform, the Rollbase Application Directory is an on-demand application sharing service allowing users to browse, test drive and install Rollbase-powered applications with a single click. Experienced Rollbase users and partners can also publish their own applications to the directory. The Application Directory has been seeded with 12 initial applications – and many more to come - designed by Rollbase employees.
“Our seed applications provide examples of the powerful capabilities that make Rollbase the most flexible PaaS for business users available today,” said Matt Robinson, co-founder and CEO of Rollbase. “These range from collaborative enterprise applications such as customer relationship management (CRM) and a suite of integrated HR applications, to external-facing, community building applications such as discussion forums and an idea exchange. All of these applications were built using standard Rollbase features by our in-house support and services staff with no back-end programming experience, and can be installed today into any Rollbase account.”

Some use the term Enterprise 2.0 exclusively to describe the use of social networking technologies in the enterprise, while others use it to describe a web economy platform, or the technological framework behind such a platform.
