SEATTLE, WA--(Marketwired - Sep 9, 2014) - Skytap, the leading provider of on-demand Environments as a Service (EaaS), today announced a partnership with Softworx, a well-known provider of application lifecycle management (ALM) tools for the largest companies and government agencies in Canada. As the latest member to join the Skytap Tap In Partner Program, Softworx will enable customers to tap into Skytap's on-demand environments to speed application development initiatives. Softworx is Skytap's first business partner headquartered in Canada, and will play a key role in their expansion into this growing market.
Skytap provides cloud-based software development and test environments to help enterprises build, test and release better software in less time. To gain a competitive advantage, dev/test teams must eliminate the inefficiencies and constraints within the software development lifecycle. However, enterprises often lack the internal infrastructure necessary to overcome these obstacles. To address these challenges, Skytap provides complete, on-demand environments that remove the biggest constraints hindering dev/test teams.
"We are thrilled to partner with Softworx to address the market opportunity in Canada," said Wayne Monk, vice president of business development and alliances of Skytap. "Pairing Softworx's expertise in ALM with Skytap's on-demand development and testing environments gives Canadian customers a highly skilled local resource and a significant advantage in achieving their business goals."
The Skytap Tap In Partner Program provides partners with substantial benefits to make the necessary investments to build innovative cloud service offerings powered by Skytap plus reward them for marketing, selling, and supporting the Skytap Cloud service. The Tap In Partner Program provides rewarding margins, marketing development funds, joint sales assistance, sales and technical enablement, and marketing support to increase awareness and demand of partner offerings powered by the Skytap Cloud service.
"Our customers rely on us to bring them solutions that improve the productivity of their development and test teams and accelerate their software development lifecycles," said Robert Ashall, Partner for Softworx. "With Skytap, we're able to extend our current Dev/Test solutions and offer enterprises an innovative service for development and test which allows them to instantly eliminate inefficiencies in their SDLC and overcome IT infrastructure resource constraints."
