Technical Advisory Council provides platform for product plan and future business model discussion
Irving, Texas – June 14, 2009 — Four Js Development Tools Inc. gathered its leading customers from North and South America at the Omni Mandalay Resort, Las Colinas, Texas this weekend to discuss product plans and industry trends at its 2009 Technical Advisory Council.
Four Js is pursuing important strategic changes in its ‘go-to-market’ strategy and as a result hosts such events to garner feedback from the very people shaping business software at the ‘sharp end’. The sessions were lively, delegates were active and the feedback was valuable.
“We are planning technology three years out and experimenting with new business models in the Cloud Computing space,” explained Pat Moore, VP Americas, Four Js. “It’s crucial we validate that strategy with our customers; their contribution and experience will translate into deeper market penetration.”
Pat Moore turned the sessions over to Four Js leading product group development managers including Genero, Genero Studio, Genero db and the newly-released Genero Report Writer.
Of particular interest to delegates was a presentation and demonstration of Genero applications running “in the Cloud” on the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) web service. It showed how Four Js technology is ready today to leverage the emerging, pay-as-you-go billing model that promises web-scale deployments of a new breed of business apllications.
Delegates arrived over the weekend to brave the notorious Dallas summer heat and were unanimous in the view that this event should become an annual fixture.
