Gartner Application Architecture, Development & Integration Summit 2012, held 21–22 June in London, is the year’s most effective information-gathering and networking event for IT and business professionals charged with application strategy and initiatives. Now in its fifteenth year, the event offers more than 50 in-depth analyst sessions presenting the latest research across four tracks:

• Application Development 2012 and Beyond: Web-centric, Mobile, Agile

• New Approaches to Architecture and Governance

• Cloud Computing: Building Infrastructure and Enabling Business

• Integrating and Modernizing Applications

This year’s theme reflects the uniquely challenging environment today’s applications professionals face. The trend toward cloud computing is pushing enterprises to make critical infrastructure decisions now that will shape their options in the future. At the same time, the explosion in mobile applications — slated to surpass those for PC by four to one as soon as 2015 — is as disruptive as it is promising. And these are just two of many trends impacting how applications are designed, managed and consumed. Add a volatile, uncertain business climate and you have a perfect storm of change, challenge and opportunity. This is a time when future success depends on having the right application strategy. This year’s conference is the ideal place to identify the opportunities, risks and gaps you and your organization face, and create an action plan to evolve the application capabilities you need for the next five years.

Tracks

1 Application Development 2012: Web, Mobile, Agile and Beyond

There are many disruptions causing application development leaders to re-examine their strategies. Support for mobile access, incorporation of the latest web and cloud technologies into the application portfolio are among the biggest issues facing AD teams today. Complexity is driving enterprises to re-examine AD processes and delivery habits. Application leaders must deal with new demands such as supporting new languages and methodologies such as agile development, and simplify development. This track helps you make the right selections and implement them effectively.

2 New Approaches to Architecture and Governance

Consumerization, cloud computing/SaaS and other forces are causing organizations to rethink architecture and governance. While SOA is part of the solution, as it provides a model for integrating capabilities into the application portfolio, many organizations still struggle to optimize its use, and to get value from it. This track focuses on how to evolve your architecture and governance strategies while maximizing the value of SOA, and its use as a foundation for future approaches. It will explore the various governance models involved and will help you organize, govern and manage your application resources to deliver maximum business value.

3 Cloud Computing: Building Infrastructure and Enabling Business

Cloud continues to be a hot area and is the No. 1 area of interest for Gartner clients, but many don’t understand its real opportunities (agility, cost) and challenges (privacy, security, reliability, integration). Yet, cloud deployments are becoming a reality, often being led by business users. Platform as a service, a confusing term, which describes the use of cloud in middleware scenarios, will play a strategic role in cloud adoption. This track examines cloud, platform and market trends, vendor alternatives, and best practices for moving to the cloud.

4 Integrating and Modernizing Applications

As demands continue to grow, demands for integration grow as well. Application integration is essential to successful on-premises, cloud, B2B and SOA initiatives. While integration is part of an application strategy, organizations also require strategies to address application overhaul, governance, and organizational maturity to effectively handle legacy systems and adopt new methods, deployment models and technologies. This track shows how integration and modernization best practices are evolving to address these initiatives.

Gartner Keynote: Stop Building Yesterday’s Apps

Your application strategy is complex, but is it also outdated? Today, significant disruptive forces are increasing and affecting all aspects of your IT strategy. These include cloud, mobile, social and “big data”. This year key decisions on cloud, applications development (especially support for mobile), applications integration and the web need to be made to maximize your organization’s potential for success. This session will explore how we need to evolve our application strategy to ensure that it continues to deliver business value in light of today’s disruptions.

Andy Kyte, David Mitchell Smith, Nick Jones

Gartner Keynote: Applications 2020: Social, Mobile, Gaming and Collaboration Impact on Your Portfolio

Business leaders are seeking capabilities that will drive

breakthroughs in revenue growth, organizational performance, customer loyalty and innovation. SaaS, social, collaboration, mobile and intelligence technologies will have significant impacts. This session focuses on emerging technologies, their impact on the application portfolio and skills to balance new and legacy investments.

Gartner keynotes

Navigating the Exponential Future — How to Think Long-Term in Times of Turbulent Change

We live in an age where technology increasingly behaves like magic, where globalization wreaks havoc on old structures and ideas and where all our assumptions about how the world works and where it’s heading are continually challenged, even crushed. This is the world in which leaders are expected to make long-term bets on strategies, technology shifts and future customer behavior. To call it a challenge is an understatement.

To The Point: Creating Mobile Apps your Customers Will Love (or Hate)Far too many mobile apps achieve poor customer ratings and are ignored or deleted. This session will explore what makes mobile apps a success or failure, and how organisations can create apps which deliver business value and that customers find rewarding and entertaining.

Nick Jones

The Reality Of Enterprise Class Agile DevelopmentWith agile development going mainstream the increasing concern is how you take tactical project level practices and apply them to the enterprise, not just technical but organizational, governance and project management practices. It’s not simply a question of scale, it’s an issue of enterprise complexity, legacy, sourcing model and culture. •Why Enterprise Class Agile Development

is not just project level agile practices scaled up.

• The impact of Enterprise Class Agile Development on application governance and project management.

•How you develop a strategy and roadmap for Enterprise Class Agile Development adoption.

David Norton, Kirk Knoernschild

Which is Best for Your Enterprise: A Lean Portal or a UX Platform?Enterprise portals are pervasive, with mostly positive, but some mixed results. The bifurcation of the portal product market is causing a split along ‘lean portal’ and User Experience Platform boundaries. Which is best for your enterprise going forward?•What is the state of portals, portal

technologies and the portal market? •What paths are emerging from the

bifurcated portal product market? •How do you pick the path(s) to take in

the future portal/UXP markets?

Gene Phifer

To The Point: PaaS Vendors Battle for New Market LeadershipThe emerging market of Platform as a Service has become a battlefield of the giants: IBM, Oracle, Microsoft, SAP, Salesforce.com, VMware, Read Hat and over 60 others are competing for leadership and market share. In this presentation we will examine the strategies of the major competitors:•What strategies will establish best

business practices in PaaS market?•What vendors will have the best chance

to lead the PaaS market?

Yefim Natis

The Decision: Resident Mobile or Mobile WebResident Mobile Applications (RMA) provide an excellent user experience. Mobile Web Applications (MWAs) extend your brand’s reach and offer a familiar development model. But apps developed using native tools and technologies aren’t portable, and mobile web technologies are still immature. Trading the user experience for portability isn’t desirable, and though cross platform mobile development frameworks offer the promise of both, the diversity of options available complicates the decision.•When should I develop a resident mobile

vs a mobile web application?•What options exist for developing

portable mobile applications?• Is it always necessary to sacrifice the

user experience to increase portability?

Kirk Knoernschild

Myth Busting: Facts and Fiction About Today’s Agile DevelopmentThe urban legends that surround agile development fill businesses with trepidation. It’s time to face your fears and evaluate whether agile development can work in your organization. In this session, find out what’s true and what’s not about adopting agile processes and practices.• Is agile right for my organization?•Can we still do agile development if

we’re constrained by a funding model?•Do agile and DevOps require culture

change?

Danny Brian

Mobile Application Development: New tools, New Interactions, New ChannelsMobile application development is both a new discipline and part of a wider trend towards multichannel development. Mobile apps are also becoming more complex and sophisticated accessing cloud services and exploiting new technologies such as augmented reality. This presentation explores the future of web and native mobile applications, and the tools and techniques required to develop, test, deploy and maintain them.

Nick Jones, David Mitchell Smith

The Consumerization of Application DevelopmentConsumer technology is changing the expectations for applications and application development (AD) teams. Consumerization cannot be stopped, but it can embraced to drive more value from AD investments, particularly by targeting consumer devices, building consumer-style applications, deploying app stores and engaging citizen developers.•What are the 4 key ways

objectives of enterprise IT?•How will innovation alter SOA and

application architecture practices?•What will be the best application

architecture practices for mainstream enterprise projects in the next five years?

Yefim Natis, Richard Watson

To The Point: Managing Application MegavendorsMajor vendors (IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP,) make up a significant proportion of the money spent on middleware and application infrastructure systems. Understanding the strategy and motivation of these vendors, and working to maximize your leverage in the relationship can save you money, and improve the quality of your environment.

Dan Sholler

Implementing a Pace Layered Application Strategy: Packages, Development, or Both?Applications and underlying business processes are changing at unprecedented speed.

Information Management Goes ‘Extreme’: The Opportunities and Challenges of “Big Data” and CloudThe challenge in managing data today is not just about the volume (“big data”); in addition, location, velocity, variety and complexity must be considered. Many challenges of information management

can be addressed with improved understanding and competencies for dealing with these forces.•What is “extreme information” and what

are the implications for IT?•What opportunities do “big data”, related

technologies like NoSQL, and cloud computing present for organizations?

•What are the emerging techniques for leveraging the cloud and harnessing “big data” to create business value?

Ted Friedman

To the Point: Will Your Job Stay or Vaporize into the Cloud?The cloud-computing delivery model will eliminate the need to have some IT specialties performed on enterprise premises by enterprise employees, and it will significantly reduce the demand for other IT professionals. This presentation is to help IT professionals to conduct a brutally honest appraisal of their technical and business skills and the other personal qualities that will determine their prospects for survival and success in an IT world increasingly impacted by cloud computing.

Joseph Feiman

Governing Application Services On Premises and in the CloudThe new world of off-premise and mobile applications means a major change for service-oriented architecture governance. In this session, we will examine the relationship between SOA governance (on premise and in the cloud), API Management and Multienterprise B2B, and see where and how they are converging.•How do SOA Governance, API

Management and Multienterprise B2B overlap?

•Why does SOA governance still matter—and why is the name changing?

•What infrastructure can we use to govern application services, APIs and other artifacts?

Paolo Malinverno

Roles of Solution and Application ArchitectsEnterprise architects want to ensure the consistency of application solutions with architecture strategies and plans, yet do not want to get bogged down in the details of projects. Application architects want to promote consistency and reuse at the project level. Here we look at:•What is the discipline of application

architecture and who contributes to it?•What is the role of the solution architect?

•What is the role of the project-level solution architect and how does it differ from that of the “application architect”?

Dan Sholler

WOA and REST: Practical Approaches to APIs and IntegrationSOA systems that are exposed on the web have a unique set of challenges. However, these APIs have been shown to be incredibly valuable. Learn how practical implementations combine the various SOA, Web Architecture, and RESTful concepts to create highly flexible systems.•What are the attributes of Web Oriented

Architecture? •How do I design systems to have those

attributes?• How can WOA help improve those designs?

Dan Sholler

Protecting Applications and Data Against Hackers’ and Employees’ AttacksAs attacks become more financially motivated and as organizations get better at securing their infrastructure, there has been a shift in attacks to the application level. Enterprises have also started to admit, that it is not just hackers, but also their own employees, carry most serious threats. To address new risks, new application and data security market-space has emerged.•What are new threats that applications

and data are facing? What harm outsiders and insiders pose?

•What technologies will secure application logic, code and data?

•What criteria should be applied to technologies and vendor selection?

Joseph Feiman

The Mobile Scenario: Understanding Mobile Trends through 2015In 2012, the mobile market will offer new business challenges and opportunities and create new social habits and behaviours. Network technologies such as LTE will start appearing, operator, handset vendor and ecosystem battles will become more intense, and new types of mobile devices and applications will emerge. We’ll discuss the trends that will define mobility through 2017 and their impact on application developers.•What will be the key mobile and wireless

technology, social and market trends through 2015?

•How will corporations choose and use mobile technology, services and tools to support customers and employees?

Cloud Computing: Building Infrastructure and Enabling BusinessCloud Computing in EuropeCloud computing is the latest industry buzzword, yet its impact will be felt broadly in applications as well as in platforms and services. This session will discuss how European privacy rules, multicountry business processes and a still lingering recession change the global cloud phenomenon in Europe. •What is cloud computing and what

effect will it have on the IT market?•What are the main cloud inhibitors in

Europe? Are they real?•How should European companies

leverage cloud services to support their IT and business strategies?”

Paolo Malinverno, David Mitchell Smith

To the Point: DevOps — Extending Agile to Blur the Line Between Development and OperationsFor years, development and operations have lived in their encapsulated silo worlds. Regardless of the reality, development teams believe that operations teams “block” them from innovating and operations teams fear the chaos that come from development “cowboy coding”. DevOps applies inherited agile principles of discipline, collaboration, and early feedback to tasks such as deployment, environment configuration, monitoring, and maintenance.•What are the practices emerging from

the DevOps movement?•What are changes my organization

needs to make to exploit DevOps?•What is the DevOps role when doing

cloud development?

David Norton

From IaaS to PaaS: Using Cloud Infrastructure for Competitive AdvantageFoundational services such as system infrastructure (IaaS), application infrastructure (PaaS) form the core services for migrating applications to, or building applications for the cloud. Understanding the trade-offs, opportunities and risks in using these various foundation services and creating an architecture for your cloud services is needed to succeed in cloud computing.•How will technology of Cloud Infrastructure

and Platform services evolve?

•How will vendors deliver Cloud Infrastructure and Platform services?

•How will Cloud Infrastructure and Platform service adoption evolve?

Yefim Natis

Designing Cloud Aware ApplicationsHow do you determine the “cloudiness” of an IT solution? Cloud architecture is determined by a set of essential characteristics, which can be implemented in various levels of the stack (infrastructure, platform, and application). IT teams need a framework for evaluating both cloud platforms and custom developed applications intended to run on them. •How to define the architectural principles

and design patterns that maximize essential cloud characteristics?

•Where can those patterns can be implemented in the cloud infrastructure stack (IaaS, PaaS, or in code)?

•How do commonly occurring anti-patterns counteract potential benefits of cloud computing?

Richard Watson

Cloud Security: Shield or Vapor?Security concerns are the number one issue cited by organizations considering Cloud-based computing. In many cases, perceived issues with ‘security’ are used to squelch real discussions. Today’s issues will be solved. Further, cloud-based computing can radically improve how information and computing assets will be secured.•When will cloud computing be secure-

enough for most organizations? •How will Cloud computing radically

improve security in ways not possible with on-premises security?

•How must IT organizations change their mindsets to securely embrace it?

Joseph Feiman

To the Point: Cloud Computing Changes the Vendor LandscapeCloud computing is impacting not only enterprises but also is poised to reshape the vendor landscape. The competition is heating up between early cloud leaders as established enterprise players enter the market.•What are the effects of cloud computing

on the vendor landscape?

•What are the strategies of the major cloud computing vendors?

•How can organizations best leverage evolving offerings from vendors in the cloud computing space?

Gene Phifer, David Mitchell Smith

Business and Information Services in the CloudMost segmentations of cloud computing either ignore or group business and information services with SaaS. Information services offer search services or other mechanisms to provide access to external data or content while business services refer to any business process (for example, payroll, printing or e-commerce) that is delivered as an elastic service via the Internet. These services are distinct from cloud application services and must be analyzed independently to see the big cloud picture.

David Cearley

Cloud + In Memory: The Future of Application PlatformsRelentless innovation in software technology is fostering radically new application paradigms. Cloud architecture, in-memory computing and other trends will shape the application platform evolution to enable delivery of business value to global audiences in a “blink of an eye”. •What will be the emerging technologies

that will enable innovation in application platforms?

•How will cloud and in memory computing impact major IT vendors’ application platform strategy?

•How will organizations leverage cloud and in memory technologies to improve efficiency, reduce costs and gain competitive advantage?

Integrating and Modernizing ApplicationsThe Future of Integration and Its Role in Cloud and B2B ApplicationsApplication integration means, simply, making independently designed applications work together. But there’s nothing simple about integrating SaaS with on-premise applications, nor linking your processes with trading partners. And how do you make all that agile?•How is the emergence of SaaS

and Multienterprise Apps affecting integration?

•What approaches can you use to solve different data, process and application integration problems?

•Which integration strategies should you implement — or abandon?

Benoit Lheureux

To The Point: Ten Questions to Test the Quality of Your Application StrategyApplication Strategies are much like business strategies — every organization has one and most of them are not very good. This session will show you how to test your strategy by answering ten challenging questions. Is your strategy up to snuff or does it need a few more iterations with the stakeholders? We will explore:•What is an Application Strategy?•How can you test the quality of your

Application Strategy?•What steps should you take to improve

you Application Strategy?

Bill Swanton

Cloud Service Integration: How to do it RightAs organizations embrace the cloud to improve efficiency and expand their business reach, they must tackle a new challenge: how to integrate their on-premises business applications with SaaS, services and Web APIs delivered by cloud providers and B2B partners. Products like ESBs and B2B Gateways, cloud services like integration PaaS and IT services including integration brokerages, can all help, but each option has its trade-offs.•What will be the key challenges of cloud

service integration? •What is integration PaaS and how does

it compare to traditional technologies and approaches?

•When will iPaaS support cloud service integration and when users will be best served by traditional integration middleware or outsourcing services?

IT Modernization and the CloudMany IT modernization decisions are driven by cost. When an organization must OWN and manage all IT resources, there is a perception that “”IT costs too much””. While the “”cloud”” cannot support everything IT does, it CAN move many resources to externally deployed environments. This presentation covers the issues that must be addressed when considering cloud for legacy applications. •What are the key forces that could drive

cloud computing acceptance for legacy modernization?

•What are the key cloud deployment options and how can they be used for IT modernization efforts?

•Which application modernization strategies are best suited for cloud deployment?

integration and data integration, overlap and how are they different?

•How will these disciplines converge?•What can organizations do today to

align with this convergence trend?
