Born out of their high-school experiences trying to create bibliography information for their assignments, EasyBib is the first product from Imagine Easy Solutions. It is an intuitive information literacy platform that provides citation, note taking, and research tools that are educational and easy to use. EasyBib prides itself on being accurate, fast, and comprehensive, helping educators teach and students learn how to become effective and organized researchers.
"EasyBib is a fantastic example of how our customers are able to use our DBaaS to build highly scalable, feature- and data-rich Web properties that serve large numbers of users and cope with usage spikes caused by end-of-term assignments, exam coursework, and dissertations," said Derek Schoettle, CEO at Cloudant. "This webinar will provide valuable insight into DBaaS in action, delivering a real-world example of how a developer team built a site around the technology, as well as hearing why they opted for DBaaS over a self-administered database solution."

In this webinar, attendees will have the chance to hear Darshan Somashekar, co-founder of Imagine Easy Solutions, discuss how the organization developed EasyBib.com to become the largest online bibliography website, with 40 million students using it every year.
