Openwater and Augmentum Set Benchmark for Best Practices in Rapid Development
Ramp-Up
Michael Rocha, co-founder of Openwater (http://www.openwaternet.com/), the company responsible for the next-generation Service Network, will speak May 8th, at Software 2007 in Santa Clara, CA, about the Openwater Service Network and the realities of China as a talent pool for innovative software startups.
"Software and service are converging," says Mr. Rocha. "We are also witnessing a shift in the way we support the administrators and users of this software. Call centers and telephony based networks have been replaced with global knowledge bases and IP networks. We founded Openwater to build the next generation of software service infrastructure, something we call a "Service Network". These Service Networks will create communities of users and administrators that deliver efficient and responsive service." Mr. Rocha continues, "Our decades of experience in enterprise software development and delivery led us to choose Augmentum. Together we designed and deployed a world class development network in record time. We also created implementation and user interface design teams to deliver the experience our customers demand."
