App Explosion

New cloud services, development platforms, and collaborative methods have laid the groundwork for an app explosion in 2017. Many industry experts believe most of the apps that will be prevalent in the enterprise over the next few years haven't even been created yet. 

The coming wave of applications will be built with cloud-native architectures that enable developers to iterate rapidly and put updated versions into production orders-of-magnitude faster than ever before.

That means more opportunities for solution providers to help their clients develop or procure, monitor, manage and retire custom-built and Software-as-a-Service products.

More than ever, partners who focus on delivering applications, not infrastructure, should thrive.
