application development

In the face of all the challenges presented by the accelerating pace of application development and everexpanding options for deployment, IT organizations are changing how they deliver services. Traditional manual approaches are simply too slow to keep up. Yet, when application teams attempt to circumvent IT in order to speed up deployment, security, performance, and longterm manageability suffer. To get the most out of your multi-cloud deployments, you need to fundamentally rethink how you deliver the right application services that meet current and future needs, consistently across every cloud. Standardization is key. If too much is changing too quickly, start with standardization. As your organization evolves, you will be better positioned to take the next step in making those standardized services accessible to developers through the automation toolchains they rely on.

This paper is for IT development executives looking to gain control of open source software as part of a multi-source development process. You can gain significant management control over open source software use in your development organization. Today, many IT executives, enterprise architects, and development managers in leading companies have gained management control over the externally-sourced software used by their application development groups.

Most enterprise software systems rely on legacy architectures that can’t keep pace with the transactional and analytical demands of modern organizations. Workday applications, by contrast, are built using modern techniques and technologies that deliver a fast, highly insightful, contextual, and actionable experience. In this video, Petros Dermetzis, Workday executive vice president of development, provides a comprehensive overview of Workday’s innovative technologies. With a little history about the evolution of enterprise architectures thrown in, Dermetzis explains how Workday, by using object technology and in-memory technology, delivers applications that help organizations make smarter decisions based on real-time data.

In our 35-criteria evaluation of software-asa-service (SaaS) HR management systems providers, we identified the eight most significant ones — ADP, Ceridian, Meta4, Oracle, Ramco Systems, SAP SuccessFactors, Ultimate Software, and Workday — and researched, analyzed, and scored them. This report shows how each provider measures up and helps application development and delivery (AD&D) professionals and their HR business stakeholder clients make the right choice.

Effective Competition Depends on Continuous Delivery of Quality Software In today’s application economy every company is a software company, no matter what industry it is in: • Shipping companies depend on logistics software to efficiently route packages, arrange drivers and automate warehouses. • Retail companies rely on software to manage inventory, engage with customers online and to give in-store associates the tools they need to answer customer questions on the spot. • Marketing firms lean on applications to gather consumer data and parse it, automate communication with prospects and effectively manage advertising campaigns. The examples are endless. The point is that in order to compete today, every business must be able to quickly build and tweak software to adjust to always evolving market demands. Ultimately, business success depends on faster development iterations while still maintaining the high quality of service expected by customers, stakeholders and end users.

Speed and agility matter. Businesses are being disrupted every day by digital upstarts that find ways to address new market requirements before the more established companies can respond. Despite talented IT teams and years of head start in both architectural and development work, it is still difficult to respond to these challenges using traditional development patterns centered around monolithic software applications. It’s simply impossible to get to market quickly when applications need to be maintained, modified and scaled as a single entity by a large, heavily inter-dependent team. From this need has arisen the microservices paradigm: a set of patterns for software architecture, development, deployment and culture that focus on speed and agility. From small, independent services and teams to automated deployment to fault tolerance and resiliency, these patterns help accelerate time to market.

Composite applications can provide multiple benefits, such as business agility, better utilization of business software assets through code reuse, development efficiencies, and cost optimization. Once companies are skilled at deploying them, many find that they roll out new applications and integrations faster, while maximizing the value of "tried and true" software components.

Application modernization is a powerful method for extending the life and improving the business value of a company's critical application assets. It provides an attractive and cost effective alternative to application development, enabling companies to defer investment in replacement initiatives without compromising business support.

When companies invest in a performance center of excellence, it can take up to three years before it starts paying dividends back. As a result, customers are happier, outages are a seemingly rare occurrence, and performance becomes prioritized as a standard policy for application development and deployment.

With cloud, mobile and all the new tools & frameworks that come with them, application development has never been so easy – or so hard. Join leading application development expert Mark Driver of Gartner as he answers your most pressing questions, including: What is the impact of lightweight and scripting applications traditional IT process? How has app development changed with the rise of cloud computing? How has mobile development changed expectations of developers and the apps they build?

Data security is a top concern these days. In a world of privacy regulation, intellectual property theft, and cybercrime, ensuring data security and protecting sensitive enterprise data is crucial. Only a data masking solution can secure vital data and enable outsourcing, third-party analysis, and cloud deployments. But more often than not, masking projects fail. Some of the best data masking tools bottleneck processes and once masked, data is hard to move and manage across the application development lifecycle.

Digital experiences on mobile connections suffer from performance issues, and impatient users compound the challenges that slower, intermittent mobile connections raise. Firms need to build a new discrete delivery tier to improve users’ perception of mobile performance and drive conversion and engagement. By dynamically adjusting to context, this new delivery tier can adaptively send the right assets, optimize the sequence, and modulate streaming rich media. this report outlines the delivery tier technology options that application development and delivery (AD&D) professionals must embrace. this is an update of a previously published report; Forrester reviews and updates it periodically for continued relevance and accuracy.
