Market, technology and legislative trends have created digital transformation needs across industry verticals. The mandate for digital transformation is clear – the question that IT leaders must answer is not “If“, but “How?

At MuleSoft, we believe that connectivity is a core to answering that question. True transformation comes not from the implementation of any single technology – not from SaaS, Mobile, IoT or Big in and of itself – but rather from bringing multiple technologies together to create truly distinctive and compelling customer experiences. And so, it is those companies that are able to harness connectivity as a core competency through building application networks that bring these technologies together, and that are able to drive digital transformations successfully to ultimately win.
