-The nGraph library translates a framework’s representation of computations into 
-an :abbr:`Intermediate Representation (IR)` designed to promote computational 
-efficiency on target hardware. Initially-supported backends include Intel 
-Architecture CPUs, the Intel® Nervana Neural Network Processor™ (NNP), 
-and NVIDIA\* GPUs. 
+nGraph currently supports :doc:`three of the most popular <framework-integration-guides>` 
+frameworks for :abbr:`Deep Learning (DL)` models. through what we call 
+a :term:`bridge` that can be integrated during the framework's build time. 
+For developers working with other frameworks (even those not listed above), 
+we've created a :doc:`howto/index` guide so you can teach yourself how to 
+create bridge code that can be used to :doc:`howto/execute`.
+
+With nGraph, data scientists can focus on data science rather than worrying 
+about how to adapt models to train and run efficiently on different devices.
+We've recently added initial support for the `ONNX`_ format. Developers who already have a "trained" model can use nGraph to bypass a lot 
+of the framework-based complexity and :doc:`howto/import` to test or run it 
+on targeted and efficient backends with our user-friendly ``ngraph_api``.

+Supported platforms
+--------------------
+
+Initially-supported backends include 
+
+* Intel Architecture CPUs, 
+* the Intel® Nervana Neural Network Processor™ (NNP), and 
+* NVIDIA\* CUDA GPUs. 
+
+Tentaively in the pipeline, we'll be adding backend support for
+
+* :abbr:`Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA)`
+* Movidius compute stick
