Universant(TM) Corporation today announced the launch of its revolutionary Universant Business Software Appliance(TM) which enables customers to define, create, test, and deploy enterprise-class solutions easily and quickly. Encompassing best-in-class technologies, tools and platforms, the Universant Business Software Appliance eliminates complex technology decisions, and allows small and medium enterprise (SME) customers, independent software vendors (ISVs), and value added solutions providers (VASPs) to focus on vastly simplified solution delivery that exactly meets their business needs.

"By embedding a robust stack of components and technologies inside their business software appliance, Universant helped us get to market faster with our mobile applications and B2C portal, while drastically reducing our development costs," said Ken Ryu, chief executive officer at GetQuik, Inc. "With only a small team, Universant enabled us to launch GetQuik in mere weeks. We have been able to introduce complex new functionality in response to market changes without writing any additional code. Remarkable."

Business leaders often hold a clear vision of a compelling solution that will deliver value to a market struggling with a problem. Yet market windows are small, funding is limited, talent is difficult to find, and technologies change even before they can be packaged into solutions. Application development cycles are endless, expensive, complex, burdensome, and painful.

The Universant Business Software Appliance offers a unique and compelling solution to these problems. Leveraging powerful, state-of-the-art, embedded software technologies, deliverable as an on-premise or an on-demand, software as a service (SaaS) solution, and presenting an appealing and intuitive user interface, the Universant Business Software Appliance enables quick, easy, and flexible definition, creation, test, and deployment of enterprise-class solutions that exactly fit customers' requirements. Cost of goods sold and operating expenses are minimized through reduced development costs and royalties, and the development process is simplified and new solutions are speeded to market.

"Customers face a critical problem," said Craig H. Macy, chief executive officer at Universant. "Current 'best practices' in business application development have become outrageously complex, and cost and delay have grown in direct proportion to that complexity. The Universant Business Software Appliance solves these problems, simplifying technology decisions, speeding development cycles, and reducing cost of goods sold. Our customers can sleep at night, knowing that the technologies we've embedded in our solution through our partnerships with world-class companies including Microsoft, HP, and OpSource means their applications will be robust, scalable, and extensible - without embroiling them in technology questions and decisions."
