Varieties of devices, computing styles and user contexts will require the creation of new interaction paradigms to foster information flow and data access & use. As a result of BYOD programs the mobile workforce is rapidly growing. Enterprise policies on employee-owned devices need to be reframed or framed as the case may be. Every organization needs to balance flexibility with confidentiality and privacy requirements.

Improved JavaScript performance will begin to push the performance of HTML5 and the mobile browser. Gartner recommends that developers should focus on creating expanded UI models in mobile apps that include richer audio and video as well as that offer new ways to interconnect. Apps will continue to grow further while applications will begin to shrink. Developers should look for ways to bundle apps together to create larger applications. The market for tools to create apps is complex with many potential tools vendors but no single tool will be optimal enough to be deployed alone and hence it would require an appropriate mix of carefully selected tools. The next evolution in user experience will be to leverage predicted and actual user behavior.

There will be a power shift away from the devices towards services on the cloud as access to the content stored or shared from the cloud will be easier to access and use. Devices may just end up as an interface. The alternative to that is that cloud/client computing models are shifting as the increasingly complex demands of mobile users and server unavailability will drive apps to demand increasing amounts of server-side computing and device storage capacity.

All software solutions that address these trends would be in high demand in over the next few years.
