Business Transformation for Application Providers

For many application providers meeting today’s customer demands will require a change in business model. Customers are looking for unified solutions instead of application portfolios from vendors. They want these solutions delivered on their device of choice, from desktop to mobile. Above all, these solutions must be focused on the user experience. Data, functionality,and insight must be available to the people who need it, in the form they want it, wherever they are. To make this transformation, distinct development organizations will need to provide compatible software components. Silos separating business units will need to be broken down. Everyone — from developers to implementers — will have to understand how components can work together in order to provide powerful new solutions.
