Saas Enablement
Software as a Service (SaaS) has evolved to become an immensely popular distribution model for software. Rather than buying a software license and installing your software on a local machine, SaaS providers deliver their software in the cloud on a pay-per-use basis.
There are many reasons why this formula is so attractive for software end users:
- no upfront investments in infrastructure or permanent licenses
- great scalability
- easy to activate/deactivate
- available whenever you want, where-ever you are
- no worries about backup, system maintenance, …
Develop Brand New SaaS Applications or Add SaaS Functionality to Existing Applications
It seems as though SaaS will be the number one software delivery model of the near future. Many software vendors have jumped the SaaS train and undoubtedly many more will follow in the next couple of years.
To join them, all you need is a SaaS application development platform that allows you
- to create and host your SaaS applications
- set up the user permissions and SaaS administration
- integrate your SaaS applications with your customers’ local backoffice applications.
Such a platform is XBcloudbridge.
SOA-based SaaS Development
XBcloudbridge offers all the great development functionalities of XBintegrator6:

Backoffice Integration through Probe Technology
Probe technology is used for the integration of local applications. A probe component is installed on the application servers running the applications that need to be integrated.
Through SQL, FILE input or API integration the probe harvests all necessary input data and converts it to the right format for further processing on the XBcloudbridge platform. For back and forth communication between the probe and the cloud platform, all data is compressed and secured through encryption mechanism over private certificates.
