Nov 15, 2002 : IBM Helps with Applications on Demand

📅 November 15, 2002 - Service provider IBM (IBM.com) announced on Thursday that it has introduced a program designed to enable software vendors to provide their applications as services.

IBM Global Services will host the applications in its data centers and its software partners will deliver them on-demand over the network to customers using a variety of licensing models. The new IBM Application Enablement Program, says the company, supplies ISVs with the skills and expertise to adapt their software packages to use IBM's hosting centers as an alternative method for customer deployment.
As part of the program, IBM teams will work with vendors to enable, test and deploy applications. After completing the program, a vendor's applications will be enabled for delivery as services over the network.
The initial participants in the program are software makers Adexa, Entrust, MRO Software and Portal. They plan to offer their software to customers as services.
"ISVs will play a key role in on-demand e-business," said Bob Timpson, general manager, IBM Developer Relations. "IBM is committed to helping our software partners find new ways to support their customers while lowering their costs of doing business. By helping developers adapt their technologies to an application-as-a-service environment, we can help them grow their businesses and be more focused, resilient, and responsive."
