A trifecta of technology approaches has emerged, providing a formidable arsenal for companies looking to launch new businesses more quickly, securely, and effectively at lower costs:

  • Software as a service (SaaS), which allows companies to consume all software services they need without having to create the software themselves
  • Serverless architecture, which enables companies to focus on writing code rather than running it
  • Open-source code, which gives businesses access to existing, free-to-use software libraries that can easily be integrated into a company’s own code
