Pramati, the Hyderabad-based IT firm, has acquired certain assets of the US firm WaveMaker owned by VMware for an undisclosed amount.

Acquired by VMware two years ago, WaveMaker is a rapid application development platform that helps developers reduce time in writing codes. Pramati is planning to use this software for its cloud-based Java development.

With over 600 employees, the privately-held Pramati also incubates standalone applications such as SocialTwist (a social referral marketing platform focused on customer acquisition and retention). Last year, it sold Qontext, an enterprise collaboration platform) to the San Francisco-based Autodesk.

“WaveMaker simplifies the process of building enterprise Java applications to improve both developer productivity and quality, without compromising on flexibility. WaveMaker applications are cloud-ready and it is backed by a strong developer community,” Vijay Pullur, President of Pramati, said here in a statement.

The two sides signed a deal in San Francisco. WaveMaker helps its users build standard enterprise Java applications using a visual drag-and-drop model that reduces time.
