February 07, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Clifton Park, NY: Apprenda, developer of a SaaS enablement platform for independent software vendors, and DiRAD Technologies of Albany, NY have formed a partnership that will allow DiRAD to build on-demand line of business applications that integrate with their existing hosted telephony platform. DiRAD has over twenty years of experience providing on premise voice networking and data solutions to customers such as the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New York City Police Department, and other agencies nationwide. Apprenda’s technology will allow DiRAD to build integrated voice applications and deliver them to customers on demand.

“Our platform will allow DiRAD to expand into the SaaS model with relative ease by allowing them to focus on delivering value to their customers rather than dealing with the many intricacies and costs associated with SaaS development and delivery. Existing and future DiRAD customers alike will be happy to know that they can soon experience powerful voice and data applications in an entirely hosted package,” said Sinclair Schuller, Apprenda’s CEO.

“Having Apprenda as a partner allows us to concentrate on developing voice applications, while they handle the process of serving them up to potentially millions of users with zero downtime,” said John Michne, DiRAD General Manager. “The combination of their on-demand platform and our voice application experience creates a win-win for us,” he added.
