Applications Priorities 2025
Face off against applications disruptors in the coming year.
The Situation
2025 promises to be another year of unprecedented disruptions, demanding that applications leaders and their portfolios adapt to new realities. From AI and cybersecurity to dynamic shifts in customer behavior, a wave of transformative forces are reshaping the ways we work, live, and connect. Applications will anchor an organization’s response to disruption, but teams must reimagine their role as the need to democratize AI, data, and even IT redefines the landscape of possibilities.
Based on the results of Info-Tech research surveys, programs, and interviews, this report examines five key priorities that must inform the applications department strategy in 2025. The research presents practical and achievable first steps toward addressing these priorities, but success may require going back to the basics first to put a strong foundation in place.
