A couple of months ago I was keynote speaker at an event about modern application development environments. Here are the slides and a brief abstract. Software is disrupting industries. Startups are changing the playing field. This trend is only speeding up. Existing companies struggle to deal with this. It feels like their IT is stuck in groundhog day. They need to radically change how they manage application lifecycles to get.

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is hot! Why? Because the year started with a lot of link-bait articles declaring PaaS dead. That’s a clear sign, right? More seriously, the expected size of the public PaaS market will be $14 billion by 2017. That’s about 10 percent of the application development and deployment market, which means two things: PaaS is becoming significant and there still is plenty of room to grow. If this doesn’t.

All too often in the growth and maturation of Enterprise
Architecture initiatives, the effort stalls or is delayed due to lack of “applied
traction”. By this, I mean the EA
activities – whether targeted towards compliance, risk mitigation or value
opportunity propositions – may not be attached to measurable, active, visible
projects that could advance and prove the value of EA. EA doesn’t work by itself, in a vacuum,
without collaborative engagement and a means of proving usefulness. A critical
vehicle to this proof is successful orchestration and use of assets and investment
resources to meet a high-profile business objective – i.e. a successful
project.
