“The demand for high-velocity app deployment will overwhelm infrastructure and operations teams that are not staffed, budgeted or prepared to handle a rapid scale-up of mobile apps”

“Behind the current enthusiasm for mobile, there’s a harsh reality for many IT leaders. The gap between business demands and delivered apps is creating a trillion dollar ‘IT deficit’ that’s growing bigger every day—and it’s only accelerated by mobile.”
Progress Software CTO, Karen Tegan Padir, http://bit.ly/1v9O1jm
“The most important tools are the ones that are going to allow you to get your product to market quickly and make changes, enhancements or fixes – and then redeploy quickly. Long gone are the 12-18 month developer release cycles.”
“...you must manage the notion of a "perpetual beta," with multiple releases over a period of months – sometimes even more than one release a month.”

“...it is rare for customers to say that they need a mobile app in the next 12 to 18 months. Most customers expect applications to be delivered in a few days or weeks. “

“New technologies are being introduced at mind-boggling speeds. This rapid change is forcing businesses to seek new sources of innovation and differentiation. And the window to capitalize on these opportunities is smaller than ever”
“TAKEAWAY: IT teams need to deliver applications faster and build frequent change into their process.”
