Moving to next generation application development solutions help organizations reduce or eliminate application backlog while aligning business and IT units and reducing the strain on their IT resources. Fundamental advancements in application development from methodology to architecture are taking place in an effort to eliminate the long standing challenges with providing software solutions that support business operations and that adapt to changing business drivers. A new breed of software called Business Application Platforms are emerging as a critical aspect to the way organizations deliver business solutions. This paper reviews the current and future state of four aspects of software delivery, and provides a consolidated view of the emerging enterprise software organization and the technologies that are driving these innovations.
