Description

• open systems empower our customers to build future-proof businesses on our platform
• open architectures enable customers to leverage the “best-of-breed” technologies for their business and our platform should support and embrace them
• machine-generated code is just a means to an end. It needs to coexist with human-written code, and be readable by humans in order to be truly useful.
• customers stay on our platform because of the openness, flexibility, and value that our platform offers, and not because they are locked into our platform through inaccessible code.
