The era of being able to choose from the best of breed tools, frameworks, and application platforms has now been replaced with that of consolidation of application servers, frameworks, and programming interfaces into integrated stacks with virtualization and all packaged into the cloud, application design, coding, and testing are about to become very different. Although today, only a few enterprises recognize the implications of this trend of consolidation, sooner, rather than later, Business Technology (BT) will be viewed as being vital and almost critical to delivering business results. Enterprises will embrace the competitive potential of technology and actively manage its use. Business Technology providers will hone offerings to enhance business results, agility, flexibility, and configurability.
