Mission

The advent of distributed computing applications spanning cloud, enterprise IT, mobile, and Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally changed how development teams create, update, and support mission-critical software. OptumSoft makes it much more efficient for developers to write software for distributed applications – even when extending existing applications – using a platform that replaces the ad hoc approach that many companies use. Our technology, developed by pioneers in distributed state management and cloud computing, helps business leaders and technical teams accelerate their time to revenue, and save money.
