ACPaaS is Future Proof1. Flexible IT development thanks to modularity of engines

2. Shared cost for the development and support of engines

3. Quicker realisation because of the reuse of existing components

4. Engines are easier, faster and cheaper to modify or replace

5. Much faster to adopt new and emerging technologies

6. Innovation by partnering with entrepreneurs
