SANTA CLARA, Calif. (Business Wire EON) October 16, 2007 -- OpSource, the SaaS delivery experts, and OnDemand Solutions, specialists in making SaaS and Web application implementations more successful, today announced a partnership that will enable more companies to launch software-as-a-service and Web applications. Through the agreement, OnDemand Solutions will help OpSource clients address the concerns associated with business, marketing and technology challenges as companies prepare to enter the on-demand marketplace. If a software company is migrating to SaaS, just starting out or is currently providing SaaS solutions, OnDemand can help the company map out a strategy, develop comprehensive technology, business, and marketing plans and execute on them.

Mike Jalonen, CEO, OnDemand Solutions, said, “OpSource is an established leader in the SaaS industry and is the best choice for companies that want to deliver their applications via the Web. Our exclusive focus on the SaaS business model makes us an ideal partner for OpSource, because it is the only company that offers a complete, end-to-end SaaS delivery platform. Our partnership enables OpSource to reach more companies that are earlier on the growth curve – ones that are evaluating or implementing the changes required for a successful SaaS business – in addition to those companies ready to deploy. Our combined track record of successful and profitable SaaS implementations makes us an ideal partner to help accelerate time-to-market for SaaS companies.”

Treb Ryan, CEO, OpSource, said, “Before a company launches an on-demand product, it must consider the impact that decision will have on nearly every aspect of its business, including marketing, sales, support, development, finance and operations. We created our SaaS Enablement Program to help companies understand these issues and make the necessary business changes to successfully launch their on-demand offerings. We partnered with OnDemand Solutions to meet the increasing demand for these consulting services. As a result, more companies will launch successful on-demand applications using our OpSource On-Demand Web application delivery platform. This is good for our customers, good for OpSource and good for our partners.”
