FinancialForce.com Announces VMforce(TM) Connector Service for Java Developers
Easy Set-up for Java Developers Building Enterprise Accounting Functionality Into VMforce* Apps
| Source: FinancialForce.com
BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - June 21, 2010) - FinancialForce.com, the global leader in online cloud
accounting solutions built natively on the Force.com platform from
salesforce.com, today announced a new VMforce connector service that will
enable Java developers to quickly and easily build FinancialForce
Accounting functionality into their own VMforce applications. The
announcement was made at The Grape Escape analyst event in Boston.
The FinancialForce VMforce connector provides pre-configured web services,
opening the doors for VMforce Java developers that want fast, easy access
to enterprise accounting functionality on the Force.com platform. It will
significantly reduce configuration and set-up time of the FinancialForce
Accounting web services layer. Out of the box, VMforce developers will have
access to the accounting functionality they need to make their apps
enterprise-ready quickly and easily.
"VMforce is an exciting proposition and provides a huge opportunity for
Java developers," said Jeremy Roche, President and CEO, FinancialForce.com.
"FinancialForce Accounting will work out of the box with VMforce as soon as
it is available, with all the accounting business logic and critical
controls applied. Developers normally have to configure and set up the
FinancialForce.com web services layer which is a technical job and can be
time consuming. This tool eliminates the need for manual configuration
enabling VMforce developers to develop apps quicker and be more
productive."
VMforce, the world's first enterprise Java Cloud, was announced recently by
Salesforce.com and VMware. Using VMforce, 6 million enterprise Java
developers, including over 2 million developers using the Spring framework
backed by the SpringSource division of VMware, will be able to tap into
Force.com platform services. VMforce is currently scheduled to be available
in developer preview in 2010 and the FinancialForce connector service will
be made available to developers around the same time.
