WSO2 Presents Technical Webinar on Implementing a Vertical PaaS

Free WSO2 Webinar on January 26, 2012 Offers IT Professionals Best Practices for Optimizing Enterprise Services in the Cloud with a Vertical PaaS Palo Alto, CA – January 18, 2012 – The cloud is enabling new business models for growing revenues and customers. Among the most powerful is the implementation of an “ecosystem” based on a vertical platform-as-a-service (PaaS). The vertical PaaS provides a platform for developing and hosting third-party applications that have direct access to the core data and services of the organization. The result is a cloud-based ecosystem that can effectively interconnect multiple partners while transcending traditional Web APIs in enabling robust collaboration, customization and governance. WSO2 Vice President of Technology Evangelism Chris Haddad will examine vertical PaaS concepts and best practices in a free webinar entitled, “Creating an Ecosystem Platform with Vertical PaaS.” The one-hour WSO2 technical webinar will run Thursday, January 26, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. PST.

In this webinar, Chris will review how an ecosystem based on a vertical PaaS creates richer, composite user experiences that outstrip those of traditional websites. He also will discuss the cloud architecture, platform services, and technical features that IT architects and developers will require in order to successfully implement a vertical PaaS. A review of use cases will help to illustrate core architectural concepts.
