Legacy Software Companies
The enterprise software application industry is a 50 billion dollar industry with over 60 independent vertical software markets. Nearly all of the software applications within each of these vertical markets are legacy applications with antiquated technology. That is, technology based on large, complicated and rigid software architecture.
Fluidapps is offering a strategic alliance to any company within any of the vertical software markets, the opportunity to port an existing application to a uniquely new and innovative technology. The Fluidapps technology will provide the following value proposition to legacy software companies:
1. Minimum Conversion Effort: The effort and cost required to convert an existing legacy application to the Fluidapps platform will be significantly less than a complete rewrite or conversion to any other technology.
2. Rapid Conversion Process: The turn-around time required to convert to the Fluidapps platform will be significantly less than the time required to rewrite or convert to any other existing technology; reducing exposure and disruption to existing development, marketing and support activities.
3. Marketing Advantage: The Fluidapps platform will provide a significant marketing advantage over existing competitors by providing a powerful technology offering of simplicity and flexibility.
4. Rapid Response to Technology Changes: Fluidapps was specifically designed to respond quickly to technology changes in the industry due its small and agile design. Any changes to the core technology (i.e. universal data view), will be automatically available to the entire application.
5. Upgrade Simplification: Fluidapps stores all of the application definition and logic in one or more databases with the appropriate time stamp, ownership and revision history. Therefore, upgrades to the core application are significantly simplified and easier to manage.
6. Exclusivity: Fluidapps is offering an exclusive agreement to its patented technology within a vertical application market, depending on the partnership agreement.
