Platform as a Service
Accelerating Speed to Market for Software Development
Software development organizations need to develop and test their applications under diverse operating conditions and configurations. Traditionally, this has required building environments and configurations in-house—a process that demands extensive administration and management by IT teams. This preparatory work often incurs delays, slowing the speed to market.
