SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - May 5, 2008) - SAPPHIRE Conference -- This week at SAP's
Sapphire 2008 event, Coghead (http://www.coghead.com) is demonstrating a
radically new way to create and manage "situational applications" that are
integrated with SAP applications. Coghead's platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
approach makes it easy for people with limited technical skills and
infrastructure to build and deploy "situational applications," which are
small, custom applications that address the internal needs of workgroups or
help coordinate information with supply chain partners, customers and
remote offices. The demonstration will take place in Coghead's booth #E15
at SAPPHIRE 2008, Orange County Convention Center, Orlando, Fla.
"Most 'situational application' needs in the enterprise continue to be
addressed through the use of spreadsheets and desktop databases, in spite
of the obvious limitations of those approaches," said Greg Olsen, Coghead's
founder and CTO. "Not only does Coghead's service-based platform provide a
more manageable approach, but the business process and data modeling
capabilities of the platform facilitate a much broader class of
applications."
"'Situational applications' have long been a neglected but important class
of customer needs," said Padman Ramankutty, CEO of Intrigo Systems, an
SAP-focused consultancy. "Coghead's web-based approach will dramatically
simplify the process of creating and delivering these small but
mission-critical business applications across a company's network."
