How can we help you?

Do you have to build a massively concurrent, distributed, fault tolerant real time system with demands on high availability, scalability and software upgrade during runtime?

You think Erlang/OTP is the right way to go but are not completely convinced it will fit your application domain? Are you not sure on how to proceed? Do you need more facts to convince others?

If so, it is about time you read about our prototype package and tested those ideas. Because if you don't get rid of those question marks, your competitors will!
