Excerpts:EFY: Please explain the primary services and products provided by MapuSoft.Kumaravel Pandurangan: MapuSoft's software interoperability and re-use tools remove the software's dependency from the computing platform (operating system, hardware, programming language, etc.) to protect the software investment from platform changes. The tools also offer a way to optimize the performance of the computing platform specifically for the application.
