<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-160" title="Star " src="http://www.cloudcomputingseries.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Star-logo-final.jpg" alt="Star " width="150" height="50" /> Star Announces launch of ‘Dev2Live’ Services for SIs and ISVs</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong><em> Star provides on-demand business services to support software development projects from build and test to ‘go live’</em></strong><em> </em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p><strong>LONDON, 15 March 2010 </strong>–<strong> </strong>Star, a provider of on-demand computing and communication services to UK businesses, has announced the launch of a specialist Dev2Live service. This is a complete range of services aimed at developers and giving them access to the managed infrastructure and collaboration tools needed to support software development projects, from build and testing to the ‘live’ environment.</p>
<p>Star’s Dev2Live service is a solution to the resource and cost challenges of managing multiple providers and in-house hardware for every development project. Project leaders can now focus on a project’s success with the support of an extensive range of on-demand, pay-as-you-go services managed within a private cloud environment, all from one trusted partner.</p>
<p>Dev2Live services are built up from components that make up the Star cloud computing platform, and include a dedicated virtualisation cluster, that gives developers a single scalable platform on which to build, test and deploy software with the ability to deploy additional machines in minutes.  To ease collaboration, Star Business Email provides the resources to co-ordinate team activities and improves productivity without the need for in-house servers. Dev2Live services can be deployed within a Star managed network infrastructure, simplifying the secure delivery of applications and data to people wherever they are located.</p>
<p>As part of the launch of the service, Star is offering the ‘QuickStartDV’ Pack which includes a 7-day free trial of the virtualisation platform with a 30 day ‘money back’ guarantee, 5 free users of Star Business Email and Microsoft Team Foundation Server.</p>
<p>James Griffin, Head of Hosting Strategy at Star comments: “Whether they’re working for large corporates or smaller agencies, developers face a host of challenges in taking projects from test phase to live environments. Pressures on time scales, resources and project management combine to create a number of issues which can create barriers to successful project completion.”<span id="more-159"></span></p>
<p>He continues:  “Star’s Dev2Live services are designed to provide a complete package, which can help to overcome these obstacles with the tools and infrastructure specifically designed for the needs of developers. Star is an established provider of resilient, secure and tailored services all of which is backed up by a dedicated UK technical support team.”</p>
<p>Dev2Live customer Harvey Flather, CEO at Intelligent ID, recalls his earlier attempt to do everything in-house: “We recognised early on that we had to find a better way to deliver our services than trying to do everything ourselves. We didn’t want the cost and distraction that creating our own delivery platform would mean and the negative impact this would have on our business. I think it had the potential to hold back the development work on our solutions as well as our financial growth if we did not get this right. Making the right decision meant finding a partner with the infrastructure already in place that would help us to deliver our services quickly and cost effectively.”</p>

<p>In addition, Magic Software’s Senior Technical Architects, Richard Runds and Zeev Khazhdan will be hosting two sessions; ‘Introduction to Cloud Application Platform Development’ on Tuesday March 15, from 11.00 am–11.30 am and ‘A Practical Demonstration for Hybrid &amp; Mobile Cloud Computing’ on Tuesday, March 16, from 1.30 pm–2.00 pm. Both talks will also cover the needs and challenges of integrating back-end systems when building and deploying mobile enterprise applications. <span id="more-150"></span></p>
<p>According to David Akka, Managing Director of Magic Software Enterprises UK, Eire and Nordic, “2010 will see significant changes in the cloud-based service offerings. It won&#8217;t be just the applications we make use of as services, it will also be consultancy and training, which is set to move into the cloud and stand as a major differentiator between the cloud vendors” explained Akka, “We’re delighted to be presenting at the Cloud Computing Congress and we look forward to the advanced discussion about application integration, hybrid cloud applications and architectures at the event.”</p>
<p>Magic Software will also be hosting a series of free to attend workshops at the event on the exhibition floor. These workshops will cover Magic Software’s application program, SaaS integration and go in depth about different business applications, and their program for partnering with key stakeholders in the cloud value chain.<br />
“The Cloud Computing Congress is an event designed for building partnerships across the board, and providing a good networking environment for those to communicate and take the cloud debate forward.” commented Ian Johnson, Managing Director, Six Degrees Events. “I’m especially interested in heading the latest in the demand for mobile devices and mobile applications, and the challenges this presents.”</p>

<p>As collaborative applications become ever more important for enterprise, a new report from Juniper Research has found that the number of enterprise customers using mobile cloud-based applications will rise to more than 130 million by 2014, facilitated by platform as a service (PaaS) deployments from key players such as Google and Microsoft.</p>
<p>The report found that the market for connected enterprise apps had benefitted from the success of Apple’s iPhone and App Store. It said that this was reflected both by a marked increase in both the number of enterprise apps available to end-users and also in the fact that such apps were themselves becoming far more attractive given the wide-ranging enhancements to smartphone user interfaces in the wake of the iPhone launch.</p>
<p>Furthermore, Juniper’s Mobile Cloud Applications research found that as cloud providers were increasingly opening up their APIs for application providers seeking to develop browser-based or thin client applications, this provided greater opportunity and incentive for developers seeking to reduce the costs associated by porting apps across multiple platforms.<span id="more-133"></span></p>
<p>According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, “A cloud-based ecosystem for enterprise apps will be attractive both for developers and enterprises alike. For developers, cloud opens up a far wider potential audience for their products; for enterprise customers, outsourcing application management to a remote third-party, costed on a scalable, pay-per-use basis, offers far more flexibility combined with a significant reduction in capital expenditure.”</p>
<p>Other findings from the Mobile Cloud Applications report include:</p>
<p>•         A cloud-based ecosystem offers storage and infrastructure suppliers the opportunity to enter the mobile arena by leverage their strengths in these areas to develop mobile-oriented cloud services</p>
<p>•         While enterprise applications will comprise the majority of cloud-based application revenues over the next five years, consumer applications including games, social networks and music services will together generate more than 25% of such revenues by 2014.</p>
<p>Juniper Research assesses the current and future status of mobile cloud based on interviews, case studies and analysis from representatives of some of the leading organisations in this bleeding edge industry.</p>

Those working in the areas of corporate knowledge sharing, knowledge management and workplace collaboration have long known that the systems they help devise and implement can drive business transformation. Yet the industry has long been dogged by questions about measurable Return On Investment (ROI). <img class="alignright" title="Robert Hamman" src="http://www.enterprisesocialmedia.net/images/stories/Robin_Hamman_100x120.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="120" /></p>
<p>Instinctively, we’ve always known that enterprise social tools help businesses by increasing the opportunities for workers to collaborate more effectively on projects, share knowledge and experience more efficiently, and often help those seeking to get things done to cut through unnecessary bureaucracy by flattening corporate structures. Those of us in the industry know it’s true &#8211; we’ve seen it work time and time again &#8211; yet a good five or more years since the term “Enterprise 2.0” came into regular use, only now are tough questions about ROI being asked, and answered, in ernest. The second wave of adopters are demanding to see real numbers before taking the leap.</p>
<p>During <a href="http://www.enterprisesocialmedia.net/conference/enterprise-social-media.html" target="_blank">Social Media in the Enterprise</a> on the 15th of March, we’ll be asking all our contributors tough questions about ROI. What is measurable? What are they measuring? How do the costs and benefits of implementing enterprise social tools compare, directly, with the costs and benefits of parallel activities?<span id="more-121"></span></p>
<p>We’ll hear case studies from leading corporations, including Virgin Media, Pfizer, Santander, ASDA, AXA and ING.</p>
<p>We’ll also hear from the consultants who make their living helping their clients better understand the impact enterprise social tools can have on their business processes and, ultimately, their bottom line.</p>
<p>Leading journalists from the field will also be on hand, including Dion Hinchcliffe from Social Computing Magazine, Pete Swabey from Information Age, and Jemima Gibbons who has recently authored a book on Social Media at work, to provide an industry overview, helping us understand how these case studies and the work of leading enterprise consultants fits within the overall picture.</p>
<p>Along the way, we’re hoping to learn more about how the businesses at the forefront of the social business revolution overcome the obstacles to implementation, work towards increased levels of engagement, and sustain positive outcomes. What are the main obstacles and how can they be overcome? What resources are required? What tools are needed? Who “owns” enterprise social media?</p>
<p>Those of us working in enterprise social media know that it can and does transform businesses that embrace it and, on this day, we’ll be rolling up our sleeves and sharing our insights into exactly how we, and others, are making business transformation a reality.</p>
<p>Robin Hamman is Head of Social Media, Headshift<br />
