All problems cannot be solved with just one tool, says WSO2 CEO
View(s):In a world of evolving technology and new innovations, all problems cannot be solved with just one tool, says Sanjiva Weerawarana, Co-Founder and CEO of WSO2. He made this statement while making the keynote speech on the second day of WSO2Con Asia 2016 at the Water’s Edge in Colombo on Wednesday. Mr. Weerawarana said, “You cannot solve all problems with just one tool. You need to find new solutions.” Touching upon what WSO2 does, he explained that the company builds middleware and is the only technology vendor to create a complete platform. “We enable you to become a better digital business and if you are ready to go all the way, we can do it all,” he emphasised. WSO2 has also created platforms to go alongside Enterprise Service Bus which is a platform for integrating, identity server is a platform for security, Internet of Things server is a platform for devices, enterprise store is a platform for consumerised IT and many more.
He also noted, “We will continue to build, rebuild, re-innovate and architect our products which is an ongoing thing. We don’t have a long term plan but will continue to keep on coming out with new innovations in the next version of our products.” Explaining about the first 10 years of the company, he mentioned that since the company started in 2005 with 12 people building a platform of products with 100 per cent open source, it has grown to 500 today. “We reinvented not just the technology but how a business works and how it is done and from where,” he added. Today while the company is featured in 20 Gartner and Forester analyst reports, it has created a data base of 300 customers and exports 25 products. Three WSO2 offices are established in Sri Lanka, two in the US and one in Brazil.
