It is no longer sufficient to simply design products that meet customer needs. It’s now imperative to create an engaging relationship as well. With products having shorter lifespans and customers having more options to choose from, the real lifetime value of a customer can only be realized by companies who are consumed with a determination to provide differentiated and flawless customer experiences.4

The true potential of the cloud is unleashed through powerful, delightful, and resilient applications. But there is no such thing like a “typical cloud application.” Different choices of cloud computing technologies and platforms exist for a reason; they each address specific use cases and needs. Whether you are building a Cloud-native application from the ground-up or modernizing/migrating existing applications to Cloud-native platforms, HCL integrates Cloud engineering competency across a wide gamut of proven cloud technologies and domains to help you design, develop, integrate, and launch effective applications.6

Since Salesforce.com became a household name, the Software as a Service (SaaS) industry is growing at a phenomenal rate – with enterprises opting for software to be delivered to them as a service, rather than expensive multi-year licenses.

While it is easier than ever to replace your existing on-prem application with a third-party SaaS option – thus reducing cost and improving quality of service - it has also become more confusing than ever for businesses.
