Fiorano Positioned in Visionary Quadrant for Application Infrastructure for Systematic Application Integration Projects


Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) June 28, 2012

Fiorano Software (http://www.fiorano.com), a leader in enterprise integration and messaging middleware solutions, announced today that it has been positioned in the Visionary Quadrant in Gartner, Inc.’s recently released research paper “Magic Quadrant for Application Infrastructure for Systematic Application Integration Projects.”

The report examines vendors whose products address the needs of systematic application-to-application (A2A), business-to-business (B2B) and cloud-to-on-premises application integration. Fioranos SOA Platform, Enterprise Service Bus (Fiorano ESB), Cloud platform (Fiorano Cloud), messaging software (FioranoMQ) and related application adapters were evaluated in this Magic Quadrant.

The exit of several vendors from the middleware business leaves Fiorano as the only vendor that has been featured in the Visionary Quadrant in this category for 9 straight years now; this makes it one of the most consistent innovators in the business.

Fiorano is the only vendor with both, application and distributed system integration capabilities and a unified approach toward hybrid deployments of cloud and on-premise applications, said Atul Saini, CEO of Fiorano Software. Fiorano is also the only vendor with a cohesive product set in contrast to the mega-vendors who have challenges with product rationalization and incompatibility issues with myriad products that they have acquired through take-overs. We are committed to maintaining our lead with continuous innovation in our products and their features, he added.

Explaining technology shifts, the Gartner report states: Historically, B2B and A2A integrations have been considered separate practices conducted by separate groups. However, at the technology level, B2B integration technology has much in common with middleware for A2A integration, including communication, transformation, adapters and orchestration features. For this reason, organizations are moving toward establishing best practices that create a unified approach for A2A and B2B integration.

The Quadrant shortlisted 27 vendors last year but has only 17 vendors this year, with a dozen vendors dropped for reasons such as lack of geographic coverage, lack of market penetration or becoming the subject of a merger or acquisition.

Rikvin Outlines Role of Business Plan in Singapore EntrePass Application


(PRWEB) June 18, 2012

According to a recent news report, the Singapore manpower agency may soon further tighten the criteria for issuing Singapore work visas in order to mitigate the influx of its foreign workforce and ensure that Singaporeans have good career prospects.

In light of this announcement, Rikvin, a Singapore company registration specialist, recommends foreign entrepreneurs and investors to choose Singapore as a viable company formation location, and in turn, play their role in supporting Singapores vision to create better career opportunities for the core Singaporean workforce.

As SMEs hire more than 60% of Singapores workforce, it is vital to ensure that the Republic continues to maintain an open door policy to businesses and investments. This would thereby entice entrepreneurs, local or foreign, with promising business concepts to set up shop in the Republic and in turn generate interesting employment opportunities, said Mr. Satish Bakhda, Rikvins Head of Operations.

Analysis by Rikvin shows that in support of the national vision to encourage entrepreneurial individuals to open companies, Singapores Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has designed the Singapore EntrePass program. The entrepreneur visa program aims to facilitate the entry and stay of entrepreneurs who are ready to start a new business and be actively involved in the company operations of a in Singapore. The EntrePass, which has an initial validity period of one year, also allows the immediate family members to relocate to Singapore while the business develops.

However, securing an EntrePass is no easy feat. One of the key requirements for the application of an EntrePass is the submission of a 10-page comprehensive business plan that outlines the goals and objectives of the proposed business venture.

WHY A BUSINESS PLAN IS VITAL TO THE ENTREPASS APPLICATION PROCESS

Writing a good business plan is the crucial first step to achieving tangible business goals. A well-written, meticulously laid out business plan can win substantial investments, attract key personnel or even generate new clientele. More importantly, it demonstrates the entrepreneur’s ability to present a clear roadmap to running a sustainable business and foresight in mitigating possible costly roadblocks.

According to MOM, to form a Singapore company, an entrepreneur must present a sound business plan that clearly conveys the firms goals and strategies, potential problems and possible resolutions, organizational structures and management duties, as well as the amount of capital injected and projected profits.

Mr. Bakhda added that form and content are fundamental components. At Rikvin, we first determine a companys operational objectives, financial goals and business potential. Once weve ascertained these factors, we then work with the client to develop a compelling business plan, which usually consists of an executive summary, business description, market strategies, competitive analysis, a development plan, a management plan, and then finally, financial projections, said Mr. Bakhda.

Rikvin has been helping numerous local and foreign entrepreneurs develop successful business plans for nearly 15 years.

When done right, a sound business plan can be a very powerful tool for starting or expanding a business in Singapore. It can bridge the gap between initial concept to actual reality. Rikvin is committed to helping first-time entrepreneurs start their business on the right foot, he concluded.
