Salesforce.com Gets Wrapped Apps for AppEx

Oct 18, 2007 - David Sims, TMCnet − Wrapped Apps Corporation, which sells a Service Delivery Platform, has announced that it has become a partner on Salesforce.com's (News - Alert) AppExchange. Wrapped Apps provides Independent Software Vendors and service providers with a platform "for faster on-demand deployments and reduced costs," company officials say. The Wrapped Apps SDP is available in two categories on the AppExchange: Integration & Data Management: Application Integration & Mashups and Industry Solutions: Software.
Clarence So, senior vice president of marketing, Salesforce.com, said Wrapped Apps' service "can be used in conjunction with the Force.com platform to help ISVs who have already invested time and resources in developing traditional software applications go on-demand."

The Wrapped Apps Service Delivery Platform can usually bring applications onto the AppExchange within 30 days. It addresses a range of technical issues for on-demand deployment, streamlining the on-demand process for ISVs.

Force.com is the on-demand platform for business applications. It allows applications to be easily shared, exchanged and installed via salesforce.com's AppExchange marketplace.

In July the Ottawa-based Wrapped Apps appointed Cuong Nguyen as the company's Vice-President of Products and Services, reporting to Alain L. Mercier, Wrapped Apps President and CEO.

Prior to joining Wrapped Apps, Cuong held senior product development roles at Milkyways Networks, Watchfire (acquired by IBM (News - Alert)), i4i, and FreeBalance. While at Milkyways Networks, Cuong was a member of the executive team that brought the company to a sucessful IPO in 1996.

And in April the firm announced a working relationship with Scio Consulting, a specialist in Software Development for the On-Demand world. According to terms of the partnership SCIO "will work with Wrapped Apps to offer SaaS (News - Alert)-enabling technology to clients for both Web and 32-bit applications," using the Wrapped Apps Service Delivery Platform to "enable application providers to focus on their core offerings and get to market quicker with reduced cost."
