"A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral" Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Years later, we are at the threshold of a new era of software –programmatic commerce, smart automobiles, smart power grids, smart appliances, smart phones, wearable technology. But what makes software really smart?

We believe, smartness of the software is due to the smartness of the technology stack underneath. Interoperable solutions to connect, manage, secure and analyse systems in a consistent and scalable manner is the need of the hour.

With systems scaling to billions of transactions, employing robust deployment strategies is a huge challenge.

Softwares to solve these challenges needs to address administrative co-operation:

• Heterogeneity and multiplicity of devices / platforms
• Intuitively usable interfaces, seamlessly integrated into the real world

And hence, smartness of any software would have well defined technological characteristics as stated below:

S - SECURE

M - MANAGED

A - Agility and Adaptability

R - Reliability

T - Transactional
