Cordys has been helping enterprises with integration, business process management (BPM) and composite application development for almost a decade, but the BPM software company also wants you to know that it can offers cloud services as well.
“Organizations come to Cordys for a technology platform to improve business processes,” Matt Davies, director of product marketing, told TMCnet in a recent interview. “They are looking to move from traditional IT deployments to cloud computing, and Cordys can help.”
“Cordys provides companies with the ability to change very quickly regardless of whether they want to do it in a traditional way, installing it on premise or it in the cloud; that’s what having one platform gives you,” Davies added.
At the 2009 Gartner (News - Alert) Summit, Cordys, the leading provider of software for business process innovation deployable in the cloud as a complete Platform as a Service (PaaS), unveiled its cloud computing strategy.
Along with its Business Operations Platform (BOP), the next generation business process management solution (BPMS), Cordys also offers the Cordys Process Factory (CPF) as a lightweight Platform as a Service in the public cloud and Cordys Cloud Provisioning, a complement to the BOP and CPF with automated provisioning and metering of applications for the cloud.
“Cordys Cloud Provisioning is a software product that allows you to create, automatically provision and orchestrate new products, value added services, applications or ‘virtual bundles’ of capability made up from on-premise and cloud based capabilities despite that these capabilities come from many providers or existing products,” Davies said.
While the notion of businesses turning to the cloud is still new to some people, for Cordys founder and CEO Jan Baan from day one he made sure that the company’s platform could be deployable in the cloud, according to Davies.
Cordys was founded in 2001 by a team that with more than 30 years experience in the enterprise software market. The Cordys platform was launched in 2004 for on-premise and private clouds, and the launch of the Cordys platform in the public cloud was in 2008-09.
“The Cordys Cloud Provisioning solution was only launched more recently in 2010 but our customers are already live and going into production,” Davies said. “Early signs are that this will be a very popular product meeting a very high demand as organizations look to differentiate through the cloud and become cloud service providers.”
“Cordys Cloud Provisioning is typically used to enable compelling new Cloud Service Provider (CSP (News - Alert)) defined revenue models for existing organizations,” he added. “It is also used as a flexible provisioning solution for on-premise and cloud based applications, products and services.

Cordys Cloud Provisioning offers an application store capability to allow discovery and charging of these value added services. This integrated combination of an application store and provisioning gives organizations a way to launch, promote and discover new products and value added services to new channels all delivered and provisioned as SaaS (News - Alert).”
The BPM software company seems to be seeing the most interest in its cloud provisioning from Systems Integrators, data center and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) providers and telecommunications industry experts.
