Web 2 technologies have changed the application development life cycle standards. Majority of the outsourcing software vendors are struggling to cope with the new “push button publishing” and “self serve” technologies of Web 2.

The more forward looking software makers are working hard to fill in the space that typically belonged to these vendors by making software that’s easy to build on, quick to market applications & cheap to maintain – building on Java application server.

SpringSource makes Java enterprise platforms that enable organizations to optimize the  build, run & manage life cycle of enterprise applications. Powerful application server & strong infrastructure also provides these software makers to provide flexible billing options, including those typical to cloud computing!

SpringSource runs their services on the open source Spring framework & supports the enterprise Java applications on the powerful & flexible apache tomcat server. Being open source allows for a low maintenance cost while at the same time, it offers all the features of code reusability & extensibility.

When put all together, this framework will help enterprises quickly build their custom applications, reducing their time to market. Once live, these applications would also have the minimal maintenance costs due to the robust framework & the standards to which they were built.
