Production system in the cloud - TIES
Start up in minutes – import, fuse, publish
Scale to hundreds or thousands of users
Aggregate external info, publish internal
Common and user-defined operating picture
Interoperable with other commercial products
Unique Community of Trust architecture
Easy to use – kiosk view needs no training
Recap – some key points
• CAP is very versatile for multiple situations
• Cloud based deployments are largely
Operating Expenses and not major CAPEX
• SAAS allows for scale-up and scale down
based on need and location
• Community of Trust allows use of outside
partners
