39. The importance of Modeling
Modeling is the “Secret Sauce” of our Model-Based SOA platform
All Applications are built and customized with Modeling
So you can take our Applications and customize them to your needs
Or you can build your own Applications on our platform
Or any combination of the above
And quickly!
