London - Working in the cloud has never been more exciting. SambaStream, the newest company to ascend into the cloud, will be revealing SambaJAM, the first extensible collaborative content management platform in the cloud, at the IMS 2009 Exhibition. The exhibition takes place at the London Olympia from 1st to 3rd December and this will be the first chance for visitors to see the future of cloud content management.

With businesses increasingly working with distributed teams and external partners, the demand for secured information sharing services has never been greater. SambaJAM provides secure workspaces that allow teams to collaboratively create and share content such as documents, rich media, wikis and calendars. Built on a powerful Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, SambaJAM brings together rich Web2.0 collaboration tools and social networking on top of a powerful, extendable ECM platform.

The three founders of the venture worked in Accenture Information Management Solutions as experts in collaboration software before pursuing SambaStream. “We were delivering complex and expensive collaboration solutions for clients that weren’t getting the adoption rates and ROIs promised,” states co-founder David Gildeh, “we took the lessons learned and produced SambaJAM. No more complex roll-outs and an AJAX user interface that ensures users easily pick up the application and actually save time using it”.

So what makes SambaJAM so different from all the other cloud start-ups fighting for a stake in the collaboration market? “You can build bespoke custom solutions on top of SambaJAM exactly the same way as an on-premise solution” says co-founder Alessandro Giannone. “Customers get the rapid deployment and cost savings of using a cloud solution, without losing the extensibility and customization of an on-premise solution”.

This would allow customers to quickly roll out SambaJAM for immediate business benefits, but easily extend the platform as their business requires to provide a powerful alternative to more expensive and complex solutions such as Microsoft SharePoint.

After a year of passion, ingenuity and commitment, the three entrepreneurs are ready to create a storm in the clouds. As co-founder Clarence Sittampalam says “We hope to become the SalesForce.com of ECM in the cloud. The market is rapidly maturing and we are poised to capitalize on this with SambaJAM.”

SambaStream will be located at stand 283 at the IMS 2009 exhibition in London Olympia. To learn more about SambaJAM, please visit www.sambajam.com or contact us.
