Gartner Predictions about New IoT-Centric Solutions

Gartner Predictions about New IoT-Centric SolutionsMobile apps are now one of the leading tools enabling modern businesses to improve internal operations, venture into new markets and provide new revenue streams. That being said, the app development industry doesn’t stand still and regularly offers innovative business apps and enhanced processes for the creation of even more advanced enterprise apps.

New Gartner’s Prediction

The widespread adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT) and utilization of Platform as a service (PaaS) have induced the research firm Gartner to make a prediction that “by 2020, more than 50% of all new applications developed on PaaS will be IoT-centric, disrupting conventional architecture practices”.

“IoT adoption will drive additional use of PaaS to implement IoT-centric business applications built around event-driven architecture and IoT data, instead of business applications built around traditional master data, “said Benoit Lheureux, a Research VP at Gartner. “New IoT-centric business applications will drive a transformation in application design practices that focus on real-time contextually rich decisions, event-analysis, lightweight workflow, and broad access to Web-scale data”.

IoT-Centric Solutions

Lheureux explained that “most new IoT-centric solutions will be implemented on IoT platforms, a form of multifunctional comprehensive PaaS that is a hybrid, architecturally coherent integration of application platform as a service (aPaaS), integration platform as a service (iPaaS), IoT device management, orchestration and business process management services as a platform (bpmPaaS), database PaaS (dbPaaS) and analytic services”.

Advanced Container Services

Gartner also predicts, “Through 2018, more than 70% of IT organizations planning a private PaaS will deploy a container service (rather than PaaS framework software). Instead of constructing a private PaaS using a PaaS framework, many organizations adopt a container service. An advanced container service provides subscribers with self-service access to container-based infrastructure. It hosts, orchestrates, schedules, scales and ensures the reliability of containers. It may also provide other capabilities, such as monitoring, load balancing and securing container communications”.

You can find more detailed information in Gartner’s report “Predicts 2016: PaaS Innovation Continues Unabated”. Also, you might be interested in attending the Gartner Application, Architecture, Development & Integration Summits of 2016, which will be held on May 23 and 24 in London and July 25 and 26 in Sydney, to learn more about the challenges around postmodern application integration.

iOS App Development Center and Other Ways to Become a Successful App Developer

iOS App Development Center and Other Ways to Become a Successful App DeveloperOn January 21, Apple announced the opening of iOS App Development Center in Italy. This is the first of its kind facility in the region, and its main purpose is to provide novice developers with training and mentorship to gain necessary iOS software development skills. According to the official press release, “the center will support teachers and provide a specialized curriculum preparing thousands of future developers to be part of Apple’s thriving developer community. In addition, Apple will work with partners around Italy who deliver developer training to complement this curriculum and create additional opportunities for students”.

App Annie reports that though Google Play leads in the number of apps’ downloads, Apple generates 75% more revenue than its primary competitor and, therefore, iOS app developers make more money selling their apps than Android developers do. In fact, according to Apple, “the unprecedented growth of the App Store has helped developers in Europe earn over €10.2 billion from selling their apps around the world”. The new center is expected to bring even more profits to iOS developers.
