MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. – June 23, 2011 – Appcelerator®, the leading mobile cloud platform for rapidly developing native mobile, desktop, and tablet applications using web technologies, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner Inc., a premier research and advisory firm, in the Visionary Quadrant of the "Magic Quadrant for Mobile Consumer Application Platforms" report, published June 22, 2011 by William Clark and Michael J. King.

The report analyzed 20 software development platforms that deliver consumer-facing applications on mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets. Given the business opportunity represented by over 5 billion mobile phones in use worldwide in 2010 (growing to over 6.7 billion connections by 2015), Gartner estimates "the demand by enterprises for mobile web adaptation platforms will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 40% through 2014." Gartner identifies cross-compilation platforms that generate native or rich application code as a key approach for enterprises delivering mobile B2C applications and content.

"We are pleased that Gartner has recognized Appcelerator as a visionary company. We are dedicated to helping businesses and developers overcome fragmentation in the mobile device market to quickly and cost-effectively deliver cross-platform, cloud-connected rich mobile apps to consumers," said Jeff Haynie, CEO of Appcelerator. "In addition, Appcelerator is the only cross-platform vendor to allow web developers to write both mobile applications and mobile websites, enabling companies to fully leverage their existing internal resources."

The Appcelerator Titanium platform was one of the first of the newer generation of multi-OS development platforms, promising write-once capabilities across multiple device/OS types. Appcelerator’s approach focuses on exposing the native capabilities of each device, features rapid development cycles, leverages an enterprises’ existing web skills, is fully extensible, and integrates with both internal and external cloud services. Recent enhancements have accelerated the platform beyond simple tooling to a more platform-centric product with mobile web, commerce, social, geo-analytics, user analytics, and messaging capabilities made available to its customers.

Former EMC Financial Executive Joins Fast-Growing Mobile Cloud Platform Leader

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. – June 23, 2011 – Appcelerator®, the leading mobile cloud platform for rapidly developing native mobile, HTML5, desktop, web and tablet applications using web technologies, today announced it has appointed Michael Asher as Chief Financial Officer. Asher brings more than 15 years of finance experience with fast-growing Silicon Valley software companies to Appcelerator.

This is Appcelerator’s third executive appointment in 2011; it has increased in size more than 300 percent in only 8 months, growing from 17 to 70 employees. Growth is expected to continue at this fast clip, with plans to reach 120 by year’s end. In addition, developer numbers have skyrocketed from 65,000 developers developing 4,000 mobile apps last August, to more than 1.5 million developers powering more than 22,000 apps today.

Jeff Haynie, CEO, Appcelerator noted, "Appcelerator is experiencing tremendous growth, in part due to the explosion in user adoption of mobile apps and devices, and certainly due to the developer and business community’s adoption of our flagship offering — Titanium. Mike brings proven experience navigating fast-growing companies into new growth and revenue opportunities. We’re thrilled to have him on board as a member of our executive team."

Most recently, Asher served as CFO for Greenplum, where he grew the company from $2 million through its acquisition to EMC in July 2010. During the Greenplum acquisition period, he spearheaded financial and legal negotiations, due diligence, investor relations, and company assimilation. Asher was integral to raising more than $40 million in venture capital and was a key contributor to expanding the company internationally. Prior to Greenplum, Asher served as the CFO for newScale (acquired by Cisco) and before that VP of Finance for Octane Software (acquired by Ephiphany).

"For the past few years, Appcelerator has focused squarely on addressing critical requirements of the developer community and has rightfully earned its position as the go-to mobile app development framework for developers and leading brands," stated Michael Asher. "We intend to continue pushing the envelope in expanding Titanium’s capabilities while maximizing Appcelerator’s revenue opportunities. I look forward to helping Appcelerator expand to its next level of growth."

Asher also has a strong engineering background with Chevron Corporation. He received his Bachelor of Science degree in engineering from the University of California Berkeley, where he also earned his MBA in finance at the Walter A. HaaS School of Business. He resides in Palo Alto, CA.

Enterprise-Grade IDE Powered by Aptana Technology Used by 1.5 Million Web Developers

MOUNTAIN VIEW, CA. – June 14, 2011 – Appcelerator®, the leading mobile cloud platform for rapidly developing native mobile, HTML5, desktop, web and tablet applications using web technologies, today announced the availability of Appcelerator Titanium Studio™ for building, testing, and deploying cross-platform applications. Titanium Studio offers companies of any size the ability to rapidly create rich cloud-connected applications using their existing web teams and is based on the patent-pending development technology acquired from Aptana™ earlier this year.

Titanium Studio allows web developers to build, test, and deploy iOS, Android, BlackBerry, PC, Mac, Linux, and HTML5 mobile web applications within a single development environment. Built on Aptana Studio’s Eclipse-based IDE, recipient of the 2011 Eclipse Community Award for Best Developer Tool, Titanium Studio offers a full-featured source code editor, code completion, Git integration and robust debugging capabilities to rapidly develop applications across these platforms. Titanium Studio integrates seamlessly with iOS, Android, and BlackBerry SDKs for testing and new Fastdev technology allows a developer to make real-time changes to their code while the app is running in the simulator.

Titanium Studio also makes publishing to the iOS, Mac, Android, and BlackBerry app stores simple by easing the certificate and provisioning pain often associated with these stores. Deployment to Engine Yard and RedHat’s upcoming OpenShift platform is planned for this fall.

"Our goal is to enable rapid innovation for the cloud-connected enterprise by providing an integrated solution for mobile, desktop, and web development," explained Jeff Haynie, CEO, Appcelerator.

HotelTonight, iPhone’s #1 free travel app, used Titanium to get to market quickly, and achieve 500,000 downloads in less than five months.
