eXo Accelerates Modern Java Application Development With Early Adopter Program

SAN FRANCISCO, July 21 /PRNewswire/ -- eXo today announced the eXo Early Adopter Program designed to give Java enterprises access to the training and technical resources they need to begin rolling out cutting-edge, rich Java applications built on eXo Platform 3.0. The company's much-anticipated flagship offer, planned for general availability by the end of the year, has been re-architected with the fast, modern portal framework co-developed by eXo and Red Hat, GateIn.

In recent months, eXo has delivered new and updated community versions of all the key components in eXo Platform 3.0 to run on GateIn 3.0: eXo Social, eXo Content, eXo Collaboration and eXo Knowledge. The Early Adopter Program goes beyond a beta program, and instead offers eXo's most innovative customers and other Java enterprises a realistic path to modernizing their legacy Java applications. 

The training and developer support offered through the Early Adopter Program is designed to help developers begin prototyping a new breed of rich, interactive, social Java applications that can run popular Java environments such as JBoss, Spring, Tomcat or IBM WebSphere. Applications developed today will be compatible with the GA release. These services will be delivered by eXo's technical product leaders.

Program Details

• Early access to all updates between now and final GA.
• Three-hour web-based trainings on all eXo components comprising eXo Platform 3.0.
• One-year Developer Subscriptions, giving users support on community and beta releases.
• Discounts on eXo Platform 3.0 Production Subscriptions down the road.
• Participation in the Early Adopter Program is a one-time $5,000 fee, which can be applied to the future purchase of a Production Subscription.

Benjamin Mestrallet, founder and CEO of eXo: "The enthusiasm we're seeing for eXo Platform 3.0, even in this early stage, validates the heavy investment we've made to deliver the best user experience platform on the market for Java enterprises. The Early Adopter Program, which we initially opened to select customers, has been so well received that we're opening it up to more enterprises looking for a 'SharePoint' of their own that would work with their existing Java systems and make the most of their Java talent. This program puts the power of the eXo Platform in developers' hands, with a practical roadmap to get them from design and development to production."
