Editor’s Note

A New Equation
Business technology does not age well. Once an application is running in your company’s data center, it remains frozen in time while the rest of the world rushes forward. Gaps in desired functionality pile up until your business is faced with an expensive and unpleasant proposition to rectify the situation. But modern cloud application, infrastructure, and platform services have permanently changed that equation.
