LINKOPING, Sweden--(PRIME NEWSWIRE)--April 14, 2008
Xcerion today
announced the launch of a rapid visual Application Designer for icloud,
the world's leading collaborative and social "Cloud OS". The launch
represents a major step forward in simplifying the development of truly
collaborative, scaleable applications, widgets and mashups. icloud
enables rapid visual development simply by using drag-and-drop. A Beta
version is immediately available for all icloud members.
Xcerion CEO Daniel Arthursson says, "Now we can offer an easy way for
people to rapidly create new collaborative services and social
applications on the Internet that scale to millions of users. The
icloud service and cloud computing platform will enable people to
explore the power of a real networked world."
Applications that easily lend themselves to be created on the icloud
service are collaboration and sharing applications, productivity
applications like email, calendar, word processing, presentation, sales
automation, social communities and mashups of Internet services, in
essence, most software found on the desktop and in Web 2.0 services.
The Application Designer also opens up for new types of collaborative
applications never seen before.
All applications within icloud natively become collaborative without
the developer having to think about it. We wanted to facilitate and
simplify the social aspects of using a computer, says Daniel Arthursson
-- we wanted to make sharing and collaboration as natural as writing an
email or using instant messaging.
The technology powering icloud is built on seven years of R&D.
