Service- and Solution-Based

It would be consistent with the analytical apps environment to have application services delivered as services, rather than as premises-based products. That’s a simpler approach to providing such apps, and business users wouldn’t have to worry about new versions and updates. Service-based applications would also facilitate the use of analytics on mobile devices for industry and process contexts that require them. Not surprisingly, many vendors are beginning to offer analytics as a service, and I expect this trend to continue and accelerate—particularly for analytical apps environments. Deloitte, for example, offers a Managed Analytics service with a variety of single-function analytical applications, including the following:

• Transportation analysis

• Aftermarket services revenue growth

• Transportation contract compliance

• Services operations and warranty analysis

Solutions consisting of bundled products and professional services may not be as necessary in the future as they are today because apps will be simpler for business users to use. However, it is possible that services will still be necessary to configure apps and ensure that they are drawing on the correct data sources. For this reason, it’s reasonable to expect some degree of solutions orientation on the part of major vendors.
