Platform Computing is leading the way to helping whole industries think differently about their software and systems

The Old World:• Static

• Siloed

• Brittle

• Physical

• Specialized

• Manual

• Application

The New World:• Dynamic

• Virtual

• Flexible

• Logical

• Commoditized

• Automated

• Service Oriented

• Simplicity
