Our software stack enables the provisioning, securing, connecting
and running of apps and the infrastructure to support them.
We unlock the cloud operating model for every business and
enable their digital transformation strategies to succeed.

5. Digital experiences are now the primary
interface between a customer and a
business, or business and business.
Experiences are typically device- and
cloud-first: rich, personal interface, with
large scale data processing and intelligence.
Cloud adoption is a secular trend
This pattern demands a change in the
model for software delivery to meet delivery
goals, and transformation objectives.
Digital transformation means pressure on application delivery
