Pervasive Galaxy is a marketplace for IT processes, serving as a community platform for data integration needs.
REDWOOD CITY, Calif.--Pervasive Software, which held its annual
Metamorphasis Cloud Integration Summit here at the Hotel Sofitel, on
April 28 launched a new marketplace for data integration processes.
Pervasive Galaxy,
which had been running in beta for a few months, is sort of like an app
store in the form of a community platform for data integration needs.
Galaxy will enable users to request, build, buy, preview and rate items
such as data integration packages, connectors, plug-ins or templates.
In addition, users can post projects and participate in community
project builds, Lance Speck, senior director for Pervasive Integration,
told eWEEK.
"Galaxy is designed to enable profitable convergence between
business-to-business integration producers and consumers through faster
market and social connection," Speck said.
"Just about everyone needs data integration, especially with so many
systems moving to clouds, but until now they haven't had a simple way
to express their needs and easily connect with the experts who can meet
those needs."
The monetary arrangement is clear-cut: 70 percent of the income from a
sale goes to the developer or process creator, and 30 percent goes to
Pervasive for the overhead of running the marketplace.
"Partners seek ecosystems to share, deliver and monetize innovation to
customers," said Ray Wang, principal analyst and CEO at Constellation
Research Group.
Pervasive, based in Austin, Texas, is a global data systems integrator
that develops software to manage, integrate and analyze data, in the
cloud or on-premises, throughout the entire data life cycle. An
increasing amount of its business is now being done inside public,
private and hybrid cloud systems.
