Every aspect of software is being interpreted, redesigned and applied in new ways.

New interpretations are fueling fundamentally new applications, new products, new delivery systems, and even new markets. The Internet is now the dominant platform for applications and services. Cloud storage and computing, together with advancements in hardware performance, have lowered the cost to build and run these applications, and new service-oriented architectures make it easier to integrate with other web applications to deliver more compelling user experiences.
