WSO2 Presents Summer School Class on Building SaaS Applications

WSO2 vice presidents will lead free webinar-based training on August 6, exploring best practices for rapidly creating SaaS applications using the WSO2 Stratos PaaS

Palo Alto, CA – July 30, 2013 – Today, businesses are delivering applications as software as a service (SaaS) to offer personalized client experiences while maximizing performance and efficiency. However, creating SaaS applications can often be difficult, requiring detailed knowledge of multi-tenancy, contextual personalization, declarative programming, and infrastructure scaling. The fourth WSO2 Summer School class of 2013 will examine how businesses can utilize the open WSO2 Stratos platform as a service (PaaS) to effectively create SaaS applications and enhance business value.

Applying SaaS Best Practices

The interactive online class, “Building a SaaS Application with the WSO2 Platform,” will be presented by Chris Haddad, WSO2 vice president of technology evangelism, and John Mathon, WSO2 vice president of product marketing. It is being offered at no cost as a part of the WSO2 Summer School 2013 program. It will be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. Pacific. To participate, register at: https://wso2.com/library/webinars/2013/08/building-a-saas-application-with-the-wso2-platform

The class will begin by examining the key benefits of SaaS applications, and how they can enhance business value.
