Summary

In the next five years, enterprise apps will be transformed by technologies that disrupt preconceived notions about ownership and support costs, process flexibility, insight, and speed of delivery. Seven technologies will drive this transformation: software-as-a-service (SaaS), mobile, business process management (BPM), usability, platform-as-a-service (PaaS), social networks, and elastic computing. Most companies will adopt these technologies gradually, without ripping and replacing their core enterprise resource planning (ERP) platforms. Leading vendors will build, partner, or acquire these technologies to deliver innovation. You can assess the innovation strategy and progress of key packaged app vendors using this technology portfolio and help IT leaders and business stakeholders transform business processes and improve app flexibility and value.
