Liberate Your Legacy Systems with XaaS
Organizations are on a path to utilize cloud-based services for, well, just about everything. So it makes sense that the acronym XaaS — “everything (or anything) as a service” — has emerged to describe the transition from on-premise to cloud systems.

Low Code: Integration at the Speed of Business
My clients want to launch new technology capabilities that will rapidly deliver a competitive edge. Unfortunately, project backlogs and multiple priorities often slow the pace of innovation. Overworked and understaffed IT teams often compound this problem, resulting in employee turnover that makes it even harder for businesses to retain the best and brightest IT staff.
Ultimately, the cycle of pressing priorities and strained IT resources leads to a skills gap that causes many companies to lag behind.

Application Modernization Requires Modern Integration Technology
What happens when an immovable object meets an irresistible force? The old riddle is relevant for many IT organizations sorting through how they put in motion their application modernization strategy.
Think of it this way: The immovable object is a collection of mission-critical legacy systems that run the enterprise. They may be outdated, but they work. The business is unwilling to take on the cost, time and risk of a wholesale rip-and-replace.
The irresistible force consists of cloud applications, mobile technologies, social platforms and big data.
