Wellesley, Mass. - October 24, 2010 - THINKstrategies, Inc., the leading strategic consulting company focused on the business implications of the on-demand services market, announced today that MuleSoft has been named the latest winner of THINKstrategies' Cloud Computing Business Value (CCBV) Awards program, which is aimed at promoting the measurable business benefits being delivered by today's cloud computing solutions.
The CCBV Awards program was launched in 2010 to recognize Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) providers delivering tangible business benefits to specific user organizations. These benefits include lower costs, faster deployment times, greater profitability, etc.
The CCBV Award program builds on the success of THINKstrategies' Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program which was initiated in 2009.
MuleSoft offers a cloud-based integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaaS) solution, called iON, that enables developers to create simple packaged integration applications (iApps), to solve common cloud-to-cloud and cloud-to-premise integration problems. Mule iON offers an end-to-end platform for building, maintaining and operating iApps that integrate with any Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solution, cloud service, social enterprise, or social media tool using a library of connectors, secure data gateways and portal for runtime performance monitoring and management.
An example of the business benefits derived from MuleSoft's iON platform is PeopleMatter, a high growth talent management provider for the service industry. PeopleMatter serves over 50 customers with more than 3,000 locations and approximately 80,000 employees in the food service, convenience store, hospitality and retail markets. With PeopleMatter adding dozens of new customers per month, software integration can be a critical bottleneck, slowing down new customer on-boarding, delaying sales and adversely impacting the company's profitability. Prior to deploying Mulesoft's iApp, it took PeopleMatter about three weeks to manually integrate one new customer. Mulesoft's iApp now enables PeopleMatter to configure and deploy new customers in fewer than two days.
It is for these reasons that MuleSoft has been named a Cloud Computing Business Value Award winner by THINKstrategies.
"We are pleased to be recognized by THINKstrategies for the measurable business benefits provided by our Cloud Computing solution, iON," said Greg Schott, CEO of MuleSoft. "Our experience in providing application integration solutions to some of the world's most renowned companies, has also made us the leading contender to bring a true integration platform to the cloud."
"As organizations adopt a widening array of Cloud-based solutions, integration is becoming an increasingly important issue," stated Jeffrey M. Kaplan, Managing Director of THINKstrategies and Founder of the Cloud Computing Showplace. "MuleSoft's Cloud-based iPaaS capabilities enable organizations to quickly and economically overcome common integration issues."
