EnterpriseWeb grows business with its enterprise- and cloud-friendly application layer (451 Report)

I recently checked in with EnterpriseWeb and wrote-up a 451 report on them. They’re an intriguing company, with big ambitions. 451 clients can read the full report, but here’s the 451 Take:

In the context of our devops coverage, we often speak about the ongoing need for new application development (appdev) approaches caused by emerging drivers such as mobile, social and cloud platforms. Cloud-native apps beg for different architectures than the classic, on-premises three-tiered approach, while the need to integrate with more services than ever has been charging along since the days of mashups-cum-composite applications. In short, companies are always seeking new ways to write and deploy apps, especially in the enterprise space, where complete greenfield opportunities are not as plentiful as they are in the consumer segment. Enterprise systems often have numerous legacy data stores and business processes that must be integrated, all with enterprise-grade governance, risk, and compliance (GRC).

As we noted when we initiated coverage of EnterpriseWeb last year, the company has an ambitious proposal to address many of these concerns with its ‘everything platform.’ Marketing an all-inclusive platform like this can be difficult, especially with so many contenders in the space. However, the company reported bookings of about $2m for 2012 and says it is now closing deals of $500,000-2m.

Clients can read the full report at 451. If you’re not a client, apply for a trial. See Robin Bloor’s fascination with them as well.
