AGORA

AGORA is a next generation services platform that enables, delivers, aggregates and distributes cloud and Machine to Machine (M2M) services for technology and service provider companies.


 

Market Need

In the current economic scenario, enterprises do not have a centralized platform that enables them to aggregate external and internal services and provide a charge back mechanism to charge business units for service consumption.

Independent Software Vendors are increasingly seeing value in delivering products over cloud as a service. There is a pressure on service providers like fi­nancial services, telecom and retail companies to aggregate ancillary on demand business solutions under one roof. OEMs are facing similar pressure to create new businesses and service delivery models by enabling automated exchange of information between devices and a centralized infrastructure.
