It’s now an IT custom-applications tsunami: more and more, business applications live outside of the firewall. Sure, some core and repetitive applications still live in-house, but most have moved to the cloud. Others were replaced with SaaS options.

What does this mean for development? Killer applications must provide a way to communicate and integrate with other applications. This is why we’ve seen such rapid growth in application programming interfaces (APIs)–a trend that will gain steam in the coming years.

In the past, business software focused on function over form. It usually wasn’t pretty, but it got the job done. However, a funny thing happened when mobile apps and cloud-based consumer software became popular. Users realized something: Software doesn’t have to be boring or confusing.
