Enterprise app business Software AG has acquired cloud platform vendor LongJump, the company announced today.
Santa Clara, Calif.-based LongJump offers a platform-as-a-service (Paas) that allows enterprise app developers to build software with less effort. The company also offers an on-premise PaaS solution with the ability to move apps between LongJump instances.
Software AG said LongJumps’s cloud platform will help it better address small and medium sized enterprise companies that rely on self-service app development. It also indicated that LongJump’s software will be complementary to its already established ARIS, Terracotta, and WebMethods product suites.
