Web 2.0 company changes name
ActiveGrid, which has billed itself as the enterprise Web 2.0 company, has changed its name to WaveMaker Software and is announcing this week a new corporate brand and product strategy.
The strategy will address the growing demand for technology to simplify the assembly of Web applications, the company said. The strategy also is intended to meet the architectural, security and governance policies of CIOs.
Under the leadership of new CEO Christopher Keene, the company will integrate current technology with capabilities gained through the acquisition of TurboAJAX. The new WaveMaker offering eliminates the competing priorities of business-level developers who require visual assembly tools and rapid deployment, as well as CIOs, who need solutions that comply with architectural, security and data policies, WaveMaker said.
The company's vision is to be the PowerBuilder of Web 2.0, providing an easy-to-use visual tool for building Web applications. WaveMaker products include WaveMaker Developer Studio, which is a visual builder featuring pre-built Web 2.0 components, and WaveMaker Deployment Server, featuring a deployment platform for Java or LAMP (Linux Apache MySQL Perl/Python/PHP) environments.
