Kipware® Cloud Development Plans Finalized

After months of research, discussions and trials, Kentech Inc. has decided on the path to be taken to gradually move our Kipware® software line to the cloud. With the path finally set in stone ... initial development has begun with the first title release set for June of this year ( 2015 ).

First look at the KipwareTB® Cloud Based Interface

( KipwareTB® will be the first cloud based Kipware® application released. )

Over the past months we have researched SaaS hosting, JAVA re-programming options as well as Android development options. The path confirmed will include the moving of our source code to the ASP.NET framework for hosting on either our own servers or on a pay hosting platform.

What does it all mean for you ... our clients?
First and foremost this decision illustrates our commitment to the constant upgrading and enhancements of our machine shop and CNC software product line ... meeting the future head on. We feel that this path will allow us to offer our clients the best of both worlds. We will continue our current distribution options of purchasing the software directly ( a normal software purchase ) ... a subscription purchase where available ( yearly subscription as currently offered ) .. or a new option of having your software title available through the cloud. This option would mean that the title or titles purchased would be accessible from any device ... your PC, your tablet ( iPad or Android ) ... and from anywhere where you can secure an internet connection ... which is the only requirement for running the cloud based applications.

While the development of the process and distribution options are still ongoing and will be evolving over time ... we wanted to announce this initial step to let our past and future clients know that the cloud option for Kipware® software distribution will be available ... for some titles in 2015. This new development will certainly insure that Kipware® software will be available to our clients who wish to maintain the current PC application model ... but also as applications running in a browser ... available from anywhere ... on any device ... for those seeking that model as well.

The best of both worlds for Kipware® ... coming soon !!
