Systems of Delivery Take Agile Mainstream to Define the Future of Enterprise Apps

There has never been a more disruptive time in the business applications landscape. There are two opposing forces that are birthing the next big shift:

1. The continuing expansion of the application estate
2. Employee demand for more consolidation in the estate

Chris Marsh and Conner Forrest of 451 Research explain that due to these shifts, new systems of delivery are emerging: singular planes uniting strategy, planning, resource and skills management and work execution. For businesses, this shift will catalyse new ways of organising their functional and lines of business, rewriting much of the received wisdom around the relationship between employers and employees.
