Executive Summary
Enterprise application platforms (EAPs) have gained relevance over the years, advancing from being add-ons to an enterprise application to being revenue generators. Moreover, several nonenterprise application vendors have entered the market, and Constellation has reflected this in a Constellation ShortListTM for EAPs from non–enterprise resource planning (ERP) vendors. Nextworld EAP is a member of this Constellation ShortList.
The key driver for EAPs is the Build use case, which enables enterprises to build the automation they need for creating critical digital transformation capabilities themselves. Developer velocity specifically and overall time to go live are the key criteria for EAP return on investment (ROI). Additionally, the rise in relevance of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) will further help EAPs gain relevance and prominence, because enterprises need to build new AI-powered next-generation applications.
This report examines important EAP trends, discusses key differentiators in Nextworld’s EAP offering, and concludes with tangible recommendations for CxOs looking to adopt EAPs and enable their enterprises to own their future business success through software.
