Application Packaging Standard (APS) is a connector which allows all types of applications to communicate with different cloud delivery systems, like Parallels Automation or Plesk Control Panel, as well as other platforms of mass provisioning and automated cloud services.

The future of business applications is in the cloud. Business customers know it, Service Providers know it, and ISVs know it. As the cloud market continues to grow, you can become an instrumental part of the supply chain for this revolution by delivering your SaaS offering using the Applications Packaging Standard (APS), making your offerings ready for huge new markets via thousands of Hosters and Service Providers ready to accept APS packaged solutions for distribution. APS is the leading packaging standard in this space, and businesses worldwide are getting on board.

ISVs

As an independent software vendor (ISV) creating applications to sell in the cloud, you face a few key challenges when striving to make your business successful:

  • How do I find the best Service Provider channels for my offerings without wasting a lot of time and energy?
  • When every Service Provider seems to have its own unique infrastructure and marketing models, how do I work efficiently to secure profitable relationships?

It turns out that a great deal of the churn involved in taking cloud-based applications to market can be eliminated by simplifying the way you package your applications. By choosing a standard packaging format like APS, you can become part of a supply chain that is tailored to the cloud and appealing to Service Providers who want minimal overhead for their installation and support offerings.
