TenFold Corporation, provider of the EnterpriseTenFold platform for rapidly building enterprise-scale, SOA-compliant applications announced the release of EnterpriseTenFold SOA Personal Edition, which contains all features and functionality of its core product, EnterpriseTenFold SOA.

"For the first time, we are offering a free version of our complete software product, EnterpriseTenFold SOA, along with tutorials to teach potential customers how to build SOA-compliant applications and services without extensive programming," said Bob Felton, TenFold's President and CEO. "Personal Edition appeals to anyone wanting to build an application quickly and at low cost."

"We have listened to our prospects, many of whom want to try our technology and actually build an application before they buy a license," said Sally White, TenFold's VP Business Development. "So now they can use Personal Edition and our tutorials to develop, prototype, and run an application at no cost. This gives our prospects the opportunity to experience for themselves the speed, power, and quality of TenFold-built applications."

EnterpriseTenFold SOA Personal Edition is a free version of the complete EnterpriseTenFold product packaged for easy, quick installation on a personal computer and licensed for anyone to evaluate TenFold technology. EnterpriseTenFold SOA Personal Edition is easy to use, even without a technical background. It includes tutorials that teach and let practically anyone with an interest in applications development build an enterprise-scale, SOA-compliant, AJAX-driven application that uses and produces web services. We believe that it would take a team of programmers many person years to build what the tutorial lets a prospect build in hours.

"ZapThink has long touted model-driven approaches as essential SOA best practices," said Jason Bloomberg, Senior Analyst at ZapThink. "However, putting model-driven approaches to SOA into practice has been a challenge in the absence of tools that provide actual composite application delivery such as EnterpriseTenFold SOA offers. With TenFold's tool, companies can now utilize the principles of Model-Driven Architecture for SOA implementations in a rapid, business-focused manner."

EnterpriseTenFold SOA is a complete development platform for building SOA-compliant applications and full-business-function services without significant programming. EnterpriseTenFold SOA:
- Automatically produces high-quality, functionally rich web services, which are 100% compatible with J2EE, .NET, or any Enterprise ServiceBus.
- Uses a declarative, model-driven approach that automatically includes powerful applications features and functions in every service.
- Includes AJAX so you can build AJAX-ready applications without AJAX-related development costs.
- Facilitates the TenFold Way, which is a full-lifecycle methodology for building enterprise-scale applications as a collection of rich, reusable services.
