Summary

Businesses rely on great applications to attract and engage customers, who increasingly use mobile apps to transact business anywhere at any time, and social technologies that transform individuals into communities of influence.

We're approaching the inflection point where today's aging legacy technology portfolios will be replaced by emergent as-a-service computing and application ecosystems.
