How do OEMs use WSO2?

• Vertical solutions that require an SOA basis:

• e.g. A distributed application platform

• Migration from WebSphere, JBoss, etc to something more lean, cloud-ready and modular

• Vertical versions of an SOA middleware:

• SOA middleware customized and specialized to a particular domain (e.g. Financial, Healthcare, Defense)

• Co-opetition

• Other vendors who require a point solution as part of their stack

• e.g. Registry, Identity Management, API Management

• SIs or ISVs looking to build SaaS apps or multi-tenant solutions

Understanding WSO2’s approach to Open Source

• All WSO2 products are available under the Apache License (or Apache-compatible licenses for third-party dependencies)

• We provide a full list of all components, their licenses and origins

• We do not make patches or service packs available under the Open Source License

• Customers or ISVs must either license those or wait until the next release comes out and upgrade

• We provide 24x7 support with SLAs, patches, and Service Packs to our supported customers and to OEM partners

Why work with WSO2 if its Open Source?

• Can you just use our software without involving WSO2?

• Yes

• So why should I involve WSO2?

• We support you so you be productive and support your customers effectively

• Confidential relationship under NDA

• Middleware is complex - this is our business and our expertise: we solve problems faster, advise on design, and help ensure that your customers get a fully supported system

• It leaves you free to focus on your business

• You get the benefit of patches and service packs to ensure problems are solved before your customers find them

Why do OEMs use WSO2?

• Allows extensions to be treated as first class
