Putten, The Netherlands, and Pleasanton, Calif., September 20, 2012: Cordys, The Enterprise Cloud Platform provider has announced it’s increasing its focus on Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and helping customers operate in the cloud. The company reports strong customer demand for PaaS and the need to leverage the cloud, with 70 percent of its deals over the past 12 months coming from enterprises and service providers demanding robust cloud capabilities. A roster of customers including Fujitsu, Clouditalia, Getronics, NCCW and Valeo use Cordys technology to operate effectively in the cloud, choosing Cordys for its ability and agility to help them get to the cloud faster.

Forrester research describes the PaaS market as “sprawling, fast-changing and immature” and recently named Cordys as a Strong Performer in its Wave report for Platform-as-a-Service. A leading single platform that empowers business operations to deliver automation, business process management, application development and system integration, Cordys Business Operation Platform (BOP) most importantly enables businesses to leverage the many advantages of operating in the cloud. The Cordys platform delivers power and flexibility, helping with software integration, BPM and application development. Its robust PaaS strengthens Cordys’ value to businesses that need to operate, provision or provide services in the cloud.

“Our recent successes with a series of customers prove our investment in cloud technology aligns with the needs of companies looking to leverage the cloud,” said Cordys CEO Art Landro. “The majority of customers Cordys won over the past 12 months are businesses and service providers that want to quickly move to the cloud and recognized Cordys as the perfect fit. Our Business Operations Platform has so much power and agility that it helps with integration, BPM and application development, but it’s consistently our PaaS ability that seals the deal.”

Cordys BOP enables organizations that want to shift part or all of their business operations into the cloud to empower employees; reap the benefits of speed, collaboration and automation; and greatly improve productivity, decrease cost and increase revenue. Cordys BOP enables services providers to greatly broaden their cloud service offerings and provisioning capabilities to uniquely position themselves in the fast growing and increasingly crowded cloud market.
