Innovation challenges

Innovate : Rapidly build new applications to meet business needs

• Shortage of technical people and skills• Excessive costs and maintenance leading to higher TCO • Project delays when innovations are not yet proven• Integration with existing applications

Application integration problems are a top reason why businesses — and their enterprise architects and project managers — can’t deliver business innovation at the speed demanded by customers

-- Forrester

Renovation challenges

Renovate : Modernizing existing applications for web and mobile

• Consumerization of enterprise apps (“legacy apps”) • Design of good APIs for existing apps • Diversity in technology, M&A increases challenges• Integration with existing applications

“40 per cent of the top 500 companies (US) are no longer in the top 500, 10 years later”

– Gordon Graylish

Evolution of RAD / low-code platform

• Beautiful and responsive custom apps • App composition using APIs, connectors • Reuse of business components• Agile app development – testing and iterating• Quickly move Apps from development to production• Team collaboration that speeds up app development

“Quick and dirty” “Nice and final”

Apps best suited for RAD
