Cordys, a leading provider of software for business process innovation has launched Cordys Process Factory Marketplace, where anyone can find or publish MashApps or situational business applications deployable in the Cordys Process Factory Cloud.

This new marketplace for applications ensures users of any organisation quickly find and deploy useful applications without the need for programming or complex integrations. ISVs can use the Cordys Process Factory to develop their own channels for distribution of applications in the Cloud. Telecom Operators and Service Providers will use Cordys Process Factory Marketplace to provide a differentiated offering of public Cloud services.

The market for business applications offered as a service in the Cloud is growing rapidly. According to Forrester up to 20% of all business applications offered by ISVs will be in a SaaS deployment by 2016 and up to 15% of corporate middleware will be replaced by PaaS infrastructure in private clouds.1

Jan Baan, CEO of Cordys: “The Cordys Process Factory Marketplace allows any organisation to mix and match existing on-premise processes run on enterprise software with services and applications from the Web. This concept enables companies to improve dramatically the way their business can respond to changes in the market.”

“We believe that PaaS will start to replace corporate middleware infrastructures in the very near future. Cordys now offers a multipurpose PaaS platform that bridges the gap between the Cloud and any ERP or legacy system. Instead of investing large amounts of money in time-consuming projects to change enterprise software, companies can now quickly create and deploy their own situational applications,” added Jan Baan.

Cordys Process Factory Marketplace offers extended capabilities such as ratings and reviews by users, easy installation and integration with the Google Apps™ suite of communication and collaboration tools.
