Half of our main banking services are now on that platform. I am the administrator of the platform and we provide it to our customers.
Platform-as-a-service (PaaS) is a kind of cloud computing service in which, rather than having to build and maintain their own infrastructure, a client is able to develop, run, and manage applications on a platform that is provided by a third-party provider.
