Duronto is all about the freedom and power that modern technologies can bring for people using modern technologies and paradigms. This is actually why Duronto Technologies has kept mobility as a key focus area. For the same reason Web Technologies and more particularly Cloud Computing, Software as a Service (SaaS) paradigm are so important to Duronto Technologies.

In this sense Duronto Technologies is about:

• About providing the customers a one stop technology shop for companies intending to have web as well as mobile presence.
• Intention to be a leader in building applications and content that can be channelized on both mediums with minimum rework of source content or applications.
• Provides maximum reuse of content and applications.
• A leader in Web 2.0 technologies. Participant in W3C.

The software industry is witnessing a paradigm shift in the way software solutions are delivered. In fact companies with established desktop or client server solutions and software are also shifting focus to On-Demand (also known as SaaS) versions of business solutions. However, transitioning to a SaaS model is not as simple. The challenges are:

• Challenges with integration with multiple back office systems many of whom are not designed to integrate well.
• Multiple browser support.
• High scalability and low latency: High performance so that users adopt the new SaaS paradigm comfortably and without resistance.
• High degree of usability and giving similar experience as the user would expect from a desktop application.
• Security: Hosted applications have specific security challenges because they are often publicly accessible and are therefore at a much higher risk.
• Availability: Continuous, 24/7 application availability requires an investment in the solutions infrastructure, processes and people.
• Adequate partitioning of data from one corporate to another.
