As our Tiggzi mo­bile app de­vel­op­ment tool has ex­panded, it’s scope has steadily grown to that of a full mo­bile app plat­form with more and more fea­tures. We thought such a major qual­i­ta­tive change needed to be sig­naled prop­erly, so we’ve launched Appery​.io as the next step for Tiggzi.

We’re looking for­ward to the op­por­tu­nity to spread the word about the new Appery​.io. Our first stop will be the TechCrunch Disrupt NY Conference and Hackathon starting in a few days. If you’re there, find out from Max Katz and Francisco Kattan what the new Appery​.io is all about.

REST4Enterprise has only been out for a month or so and is al­ready making a big splash with its simple, yet very sig­nif­i­cant, premise: You want to make your data avail­able as an API (REST) ser­vice. You want this done quickly and cost-​​effectively. REST4Enterprise fills the gap.

Except now it’s RESTXpress. We wanted a better name for the product while it was still in its be­gin­ning stages, so we have set­tled on RESTXpress as the name going for­ward. Visit the RESTXpress page for all the latest information.

Last week, we an­nounced our OEM part­ner­ship with Progress Software, a global soft­ware com­pany that sim­pli­fies and en­ables the de­vel­op­ment and de­ploy­ment of busi­ness ap­pli­ca­tions through its OpenEdge de­vel­op­ment plat­form. To pro­vide more de­tails on how this ex­citing part­ner­ship came to be, we de­vel­oped a case study. It dis­cusses the main rea­sons for Exadel’s se­lec­tion as a partner:

1. Product (Tiggzi): a hy­brid ap­proach based in the Cloud
2. Partner-​​friendliness
3. Mobile ser­vices expertise

It also in­cludes a good de­scrip­tion of the OpenEdge platform’s key features.

Read the case study and see how it all fit together.

Progress Software is a large pub­licly traded (NASDAQ: PRGS) global soft­ware com­pany that sim­pli­fies and en­ables the de­vel­op­ment and de­ploy­ment of busi­ness ap­pli­ca­tions through its OpenEdge de­vel­op­ment plat­form. When Progress wanted to bol­ster its de­vel­op­ment sup­port in mo­bile, it turned to a partner al­ready es­tab­lished in the mo­bile space, Exadel. We are proud that our Tiggzi mo­bile app plat­form pro­vided much of the basis for the mo­bile app builder in OpenEdge Mobile re­leased as part of OpenEdge 11.2 on February 20, 2013. We look for­ward to working fur­ther with Progress Software as an OEM partner helping busi­nesses de­velop the soft­ware they need to be successful.

The basic con­cept is simple: You have some data you want to share through a REST ser­vice. You don’t have the ser­vice built. You con­sider spending a lot of re­sources and time on building it your­self. You look for an al­ter­na­tive. You find REST4Enterprise. It has two parts. You use its ad­min­is­tra­tive con­sole to easily set up data­base queries as REST ser­vices in a browser; you let the run-​​time gateway present the data­base queries as ser­vices to the out­side world. Happy ending/​beginning!

Of course, a good con­cept is nothing without a lot of elbow grease to work out the im­ple­men­ta­tion de­tails. That’s ex­actly what our team has been doing since the REST4Eneterprise launch. Their latest ef­forts have come to fruition as a new ver­sion, 1.0, avail­able now. Read more »

The API economy of REST ser­vices has a supply side and a de­mand side. Recently, a lot of at­ten­tion has been paid to the de­mand side. There are now many op­tions for set­ting up var­ious mo­bile and web apps to con­sume ser­vices and data via REST (like our own Tiggzi mo­bile app plat­form). But, what about the supply side?

In the up­coming months, we are plan­ning on a com­plete over­haul of our web­site to clarify our mes­sage and en­hance the ex­pe­ri­ence for site vis­i­tors. In the mean­time, we’ve made a few helpful changes:

1. The home and about pages have been up­dated with new con­tent to help site vis­i­tors better un­der­stand how Exadel can con­tribute to their success.
2. The man­age­ment team page has been up­dated with in­for­ma­tion about our new Vice President of Marketing, Francisco Kattan. You’ll hear more from Exadel in the coming weeks about this ex­citing ad­di­tion to our man­age­ment team.

Security is an ab­solute ne­ces­sity in en­ter­prise busi­ness so­lu­tions, but it also in­volves a del­i­cate bal­ancing act. Enterprise data and processes must be pro­tected, but often this has to happen within an open Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) en­vi­ron­ment while still main­taining flex­i­bility for users through fea­tures like Single Sign-​​On (SSO). And, of course, all of this has to happen in the most cost-​​effective manner pos­sible. Read more »

We’ve re­ceived many re­quests for white la­beling our Tiggzi mo­bile app de­vel­op­ment and sup­port plat­form. Many or­ga­ni­za­tions are in­ter­ested in using Tiggzi as an un­der­lying en­gine, under their brand, for building their own de­vel­oper com­mu­nity. We’re able to work out any cus­tomiza­tion for how this can work in terms of process or pricing, so just e-​​mail us di­rectly to find out more.
