08 April 2009 - Chicago, Illinois - ThoughtWorks, Inc. the Chicago-based global professional services firm specializing in application development and systems integration, announced today its participation in the Google Enterprise Partner™ Program.  This participation aligns with the announcement of new Google App Engine™ features from Google, Inc™.

ThoughtWorks developers were early partners, providing enterprise-based expertise in open source technologies, programming for scalability and reliability, testability, distributed software project management, and validation.

"The new App Engine features, with the early look at Java™ support, make Google's scalable infrastructure more open and even more appealing to CIOs within major enterprises," said Rebecca Parsons, Chief Technology Officer at ThoughtWorks.  "One of the values we brought to the partnership with the Google App Engine team was our deep experience with adapting leading edge technology to work in the scale and architecture of large enterprises.   And now our experience working with Google's App Engine will add to the value we bring to corporate clients looking to get the most out of cloud technology."  

Cloud computing is a potential game-changing technology opportunity for many businesses.  Embracing cloud- based design allows significant reach to unprecedented application scale, performance and resilience with astonishing economic efficiencies.  New Cloud Consulting services from ThoughtWorks leverage its solid legacy of consulting and bespoke development expertise to help clients evaluate, design and integrate cloud computing into their own environments.
