John needs to rollout a new software version this week but dreads the maintenance period where everything must shutdown. His coworkers complain about outages during rollouts. Jim explains that with Colony, modules can be added, changed, or removed on the fly without restarts by attaching and detaching extension points. John is convinced and decides to check out getcolony.com to avoid future stress during rollouts.
