# Introduction Digital technologies have transformed the competitive landscape for businesses of all shapes and sizes. Tech is being used to disrupt business models, transform customer & employee experiences and streamline key business processes. With this increased technology adoption comes an increase in spending on the information technology (IT) components that enable these digital experiences leaving IT departments constantly challenged to do more with less while managing these ever-expanding, evolving tech footprints. OBTO can help. What is OBTO? Introducing OBTO, a fully customizable software as a service (SaaS) platform that enables: 1. Low-cost digital transformation solutions 2. Streamlined IT services 3. Custom applications & workflows 4. Data driven insights 5. Contemporary experiences that drive business outcomes Our vision is simple. We call it “The Connected World Applications Economy,” and it’s the idea that one day every company will be a part of this Economy. Why OBTO? As a core mission, OBTO was created to optimize web application development without breaking the bank. While other platforms & tools offer several capabilities, they all too often: 1. Include unreasonably expensive seat licenses & require year over year maintenance costs 2. Limit flexibility & force vendor lock-in; increasing the need for specific skilled resources 3. Have steep learning curves & libraries of technical certifications needed for implementing & using their tools. 4. Lack automation and modern architectures So, we built something that could address these common problems for businesses both small and large across any industry. OBTO was built using open standards and modern, cloud native software DNA that simplifies adoption and enables low & no or high code development. OBTO also includes countless integrations that can be setup or configured quickly & easily. The platform was built with integrated security and role-based access that meet the latest standards.
