The Shift Toward Application Platforms
Organizations are converging what were once disparate, standalone applications and systems into an integrated, unified application platform.
In fact, according to Forrester Consulting, 75 percent of IT leaders across 412 companies in North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America anticipate a shift toward application platforms, with 41 percent of respondents saying their application platform strategy is currently under way.
“Many Organizations Embrace Converged Application Platforms, But Adoption Barriers Remain”, a commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Microsoft, October 2007; http://download.microsoft.com/download/b/3/5/b3561c68-e641-4137-abdd-df09ac51742c/Forrester Consulting - Application Platform Optimization Study 10-2007 - 2.pdf
