Trends 2008: Project-Based Solutions

This is the third document in the "Enterprise Solutions For A Project-Based World" series.

by R "Ray" Wang, Andy Salunga

with Sharyn Leaver, Meghan Donnelly


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

In 2008, Forrester believes that project-based solutions (PBS) adoption will continue to be driven by specific microverticals in professional services, construction, real estate, and the public sector. A worsening economic climate will up the ante on features that enforce compliance and efficiency. The preference for comprehensive solutions will drive demand for tools that apply program management techniques, deliver on integration and collaboration, and provide new deployment options. Business process and applications professionals considering solutions along the project life cycle should seek industry-specific solutions from vendors who embrace the vision of dynamic apps.
