W4 News 
The reign of software packages whose heyday began in the 90s with ERP, has led to the end of differentiating factors for business. My competitor and I often use the same tool, specified by the same consultants ... where is the competitive advantage? At the same time, it would be ridiculous to redevelop complete chains in Cobol! Combining software for standard treatments and regulations with the creation of custom applications for unique business processes, reopens the door. The idea of "composicial TM " is an elegant way to give back to business applications both added value and a competitive edge."

This tremendous popularity is expected to accelerate in 2012 with the launch of major projects in business and in government. Not an offer nor a product without its variation in the cloud. Beyond the hype, it is especially necessary to define a service that meets customer demands. In the case of the composition of applications and BPM, it is mainly to allow access to the Cloud infrastructure for creating and sharing applications. |
