Cloud platforms package all the services necessary to build applications, including database, virtualization and architecture services—easily and uniformly. They can free organizations from the complexities of building and maintaining application architectures and allow developers to focus on business solutions instead of the technical underpinnings. Our cloud application-development and platform services help clients take advantage of the growing number of public and private platform-as-a-service (PaaS) providers, and prepare for the transition to the cloud.
