The best way to really approach these demands is to get your terms straight, frame applications along modern cloud component lines, introduce component-based software engineering to make processes match business needs and recognize productivity and technology trends as equals.

topics such as long-term business objectives, compliance requirements, and the benefits of automating certain organizational procedures.
