3. Innovation challenges
Innovate : Rapidly build new applications to meet business needs
• Shortage of technical people and skills
• Excessive costs and maintenance leading to higher TCO
• Project delays when innovations are not yet proven
• Integration with existing applications
Application integration problems are a top reason why
businesses — and their enterprise architects and project
managers — can’t deliver business innovation at the speed
demanded by customers
-- Forrester

4. Renovation challenges
Renovate : Modernizing existing applications for web and mobile
• Consumerization of enterprise apps (“legacy apps”)
• Design of good APIs for existing apps
• Diversity in technology, M&A increases challenges
• Integration with existing applications
“40 per cent of the top 500 companies (US) are
no longer in the top 500, 10 years later”
– Gordon Graylish

5. Evolution of RAD / low-code platform
• Beautiful and responsive custom apps
• App composition using APIs, connectors
• Reuse of business components
• Agile app development – testing and iterating
• Quickly move Apps from development to production
• Team collaboration that speeds up app development
“Quick and dirty” “Nice and final”

6. Apps best suited for RAD
• Well suited for:
– Data driven, API based and Mobile apps
• Apps with similar requirements
– Reusable Styles, Themes, Widgets, Templates
• Not recommended for:
– Gaming apps
