Online Database, CRM and PaaS – The LongJump Blog

The advent of social (Relay) and mobile (Javelin) interfaces to LongJump’s PaaS and Online Database solutions has gotten some good write-ups by members of the technology journalists. Here’s a sample of who’s covered the release.

• David Carr at InformationWeek talked about how “customers will be able to add social media features to their applications, and also make those applications available to mobile users”
• David Strom at ReadWriteWeb noted “Relay has the look and feel of a Facebook or Twitter news feed that is increasingly being used for a variety of social enterprise applications to show real-time visibility and activities”
• Jason Campbell over at CMSWire had the most provocative point in his analysis comparing LongJump to Salesforce.com
• Andrew Hickey at CRN indicated that resellers, VARs, ISVs and MSPs view is that “the integrated cloud platform gives developers and solution providers the ability to embrace converged cloud, social and mobile applications”
• Kristen Nicole at the SiliconAngle blog definitely made the connection about how important it is to be “creating simplified processes for businesses to utilize their existing data”
• Brittany Farb, who covers technology for DestinationCRM, stated “LongJump is the first platform-as-a-service provider to offer a social and mobile integrated platform, enabling business to take advantage of cloud, social networking, and mobile technologies”
• Mike Vizard, covering IT trends at ITBusinessEdge, notes how Relay and Javelin can solve a key issue affecting today’s small and medium sized enterprises: “One of the problems the average company today has with developing anything that looks like a custom application is all the complexity involved.”

The original release is available here.

**UPDATED**

• I left off a great in-depth interview by Martin Tantow at CloudTimes with Pankaj where they go into LongJump as a company, as a service, and more. Truly a unique piece.
