When it makes what had been impossible a reality and delivers it with an unexpected simplicity. rollApp has an ambitious vision and a technical expertise to break all barriers of dependencies of plethora of existing desktop applications on specific hardware or operating systems and enables publishing any desktop application into a cloud for SaaS access via browser from any device. rollApp makes publishing a stunningly easy process, comparable to an upload of a movie to YouTube.
