3. “Getting contracts approved is a time-consuming process that
involves pushing large amounts of data to our central office in
Orlando... Since it wasn’t possible to duplicate our main business
systems and processes in our Japanese offices, it was taking up to
30 minutes to complete the IT portion of the contracts process.”

• Close proximity of ADC to App
• Static environment
• Monolithic in nature

Old Architecture – Apps, Data “Location Dependent”
• App/Data broken into pieces
• Distributed in nature
• Dynamic environment
• Object reuse and scale necessary
• ADC must be near objects, deployed per object
• User access from anywhere on any device
