NDMC shortens the adoption time of Cloud
Computing with UK launch of Encanvas Secure&Live
10 February 2011, Oxford, UK – NDMC announces the UK release of Encanvas®
Secure&Live™ Web Portal software that enables organisations to develop self-managed
private-cloud applications without coding
Cloud computing offers great benefits as a deployment environment for business applications because it offers an
always-online computing platform with the capacity to scale as demand grows. Encanvas® Secure&Live™ is a
.NET-based Rich Internet Portal architecture incorporating powerful Enterprise Mashups functionality that gives
business analysts the means to create cross-platform cloud-based applications without coding. Encanvas manages
the lifecycle of applications development and operational management through a single integrated kernel of
software. It employs ready-made point-and-click design elements that facilitate the rapid creation of secure and
live portal applications with the potential to massively scale through cloud deployment.
Andrew Lawrie, CTO says, “For organisations committed to the Microsoft Web Platform, Encanvas Secure&Live
brings a new coherency to the .NET platform on a private-cloud as developers and business analysts strive to
extend applications, processes and networks beyond the confines of the Enterprise Firewall. The enterprise
mashups technology found in Encanvas is the essential glue to bring disparate sources of data together into
coherent and sustainable composite applications. Cloud computing offers huge possibilities for smarter ways of
working that bring cashable efficiency savings and innovation to organisations but without the means to leverage
investments already made in staff know-how, databases and existing systems, the cloud becomes unreachable.
What we’re doing with Encanvas Secure&Live is shortening the time to adoption of cloud computing by providing a
smooth migration from legacy enterprise apps to true .NET based Web 2.0 cloud applications.”
Popularity in cloud applications has benefited from the growing trend of organizations to adopt services-
oriented architectures (SOA) – a technology that removes the necessity to repeatedly build custom data
connections to core back-office systems. Encanvas incorporates data mashups technology to consume the
information services created using SOA. In this way, Encanvas brings agility to business IT and enables stretched IT
teams to serve the long-tail of demand for business applications that can’t be economically fulfilled by
programming or shrink-wrapped software purchases. Arguably the original enterprise mashups portal platform,
Encanvas has been deployed for enterprise applications within the Government, Utilities, Manufacturing,
Professional Services, Homeland Security and Transport sectors since 2004.
Encanvas Secure&Live™ extends people networks and processes beyond the boundaries of the enterprise by
creating self-service portal environments that individuals and groups can use to share communications, multi-
media files, applications and information resources. Organisations can build their own App Stores on the cloud to
serve the majority of business information needs without coding.
