DUBLIN, Ireland---Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c66894)
has announced the addition of Application Lifecycle Market Analysis to
their offering.
In the two years since we last updated the application lifecycle market
analysis much of what we predicted has come to pass. There has been a
steady market consolidation within the vendor community, especially
within the management space, driven by the need to provide greater
control and insight into the delivery process.
The desire for the concept of services and service orientation as a
means of delivering a loosely connected flexible architecture has been
made more attainable, allowing different technologies to integrate and
work more easily together, catering for change, agility and promoting a
more functional-based interaction.
It has done so through the advent of web services standards, the
simplicity of the core technology and the cross community and industry
support the technology and the standards have received.
As a result, there has been a rise in purveyors of ‘service-oriented’
applications, approaches, management and infrastructure, which have been
aligned with the application lifecycle framework, driving further
consolidation in the market.
Predictability, quality, risk assessment and management and cost
efficiencies are still big drivers for many organisations. However,
there is also renewed focus on, and a greater urgency for,
business-aligned IT management, process control and innovation, both
within the end user community and providers of application lifecycle
management (ALM) solutions.
