Forrester is forecasting good IT growth in 2014 with focus on mobile, cloud and analytics. What this means for development teams is the need for new skills to cater to the hungry business users. I called the business users “hungry” for a specific reason. The business users are now demanding consumer grade experiences on multiple devices as they have become accustomed to the great user experience they offer. This hunger will need to be satiated by the development teams of today.
