Session Abstract: Customers, prospects, and partners use the Web to connect to enterprise applications at an increasing rate, underscoring the need for high developer productivity that achieves superior time-to-market relative to rivals. Cloud computing provides a powerful combination of value and cost drivers, and a growing number of Web-facing enterprise applications will find a home there, heralding a new era in enterprise Web development and execution.
Key Issues:
- What’s driving the convergence of Web and cloud AD, and what does the market offer today?
- How will future enterprise-developed solutions be architected, and how will the software development life cycle evolve?
- How should this be factored into near-term AD decisions on development environments, tools, methodologies and staff/skill planning?
Eric opens: By 2014, about a 1/3 of new web applications will be developed on platforms in the cloud. Platform that is horizontally scalable, designed for multi-tenancy.
Drivers of this enterprise shift: developer productivity, time to market, cost of ownership. more >>
