Seizing the future with the cloud

For well-established companies and new enterprises alike, the cloud is an essential factor in their success, today and in the future. GeneXus' solution for this scenario is called GeneXus Cloud. It is the result of collaborative work with multiple cloud providers, as a way to ensure that any company can move to the cloud quickly and easily.

Technology advances at dizzying speed. In addition, software is invading the world and the greatest challenge for companies today is to be able to adapt fast enough, using solutions that range from simple process changes to reshaping their business models. The cloud is key to achieving the flexibility and dynamic approach needed by companies today.

     

   
Publishing systems in the cloud has evolved from being a simple alternative to becoming the new standard. This is due mainly to the huge variety of services available, the possibility to leverage economies of scale, and the flexibility to select exactly what to purchase (in terms of technology, size, quantity) and for how long.
What is the greatest advantage of using the cloud? For José Lamas, GeneXus Cloud Product Manager, "the key advantage is that it allows making better decisions, fast. First of all, access is dramatically simplified: you select what you need and it's ready to work. There's no need to buy machines or wait for deliveries, and there's nothing to connect, install, configure or maintain. In addition, and most importantly, the technological and financial risk is significantly reduced: you only pay for what you need now, but you can count on getting what you may need in the future. Making changes, including increasing or decreasing capacity, is simple and fast."
 
Opportunities provided by the cloud with GeneXus

"GeneXus is a multi-platform development tool based on a unique technology for intelligent knowledge management, and GeneXus Cloud extends this intelligence to the publication and administration of deployed systems" - explains José Lamas. Just like GeneXus allows using the same statements for generating systems for various platforms and technological combinations, or even changing them in the future, GeneXus Cloud allows users to easily deploy these systems and manage their upgrades for various platforms and service providers in the cloud. "Freelance developers, software development companies or even large corporations only need to select the place and required capacity to publish their systems. From then on, both the initial creation and subsequent upgrades are automatically implemented from GeneXus, with full control, security and traceability," he added.
 
In order to help companies successfully face the challenges of today's world, GeneXus works closely with the most important worldwide cloud providers, including IBM Bluemix and Softlayer, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, SAP Hana Cloud Platform and Montevideo Comm.

In this way, GeneXus enables companies to step into the future, today.
