As enterprises strive for greater adaptability, autonomous execution, and continuous optimization, they are reimagining application development. Traditional approaches – focused on static requirements, linear workflows, and manual oversight – can no longer keep pace with real-time business demands. Development teams must now build systems that not only deliver features but also respond intelligently to change, act independently, and learn from every outcome.

Systems of Execution (SoE) offer a new blueprint for application design – one that integrates AI, automation, event-driven architecture, and adaptive workflows to create intelligent, self-optimizing applications. By enabling real-time sensing, autonomous decision-making, and dynamic orchestration, SoE-ready applications fundamentally redefine enterprise responsiveness and resilience.

This Viewpoint examines application development’s evolution in the context of SoE. It explores the architectural principles behind SoE-ready systems, the foundational investments enterprises must make, and real-world case studies demonstrating how leading organizations are unlocking value through agentic, context-aware applications.

Scope

• Industry: agnostic
• Geography: global

In this viewpoint, we examine:

• SoE-ready application development
• The required technology investments
• A pragmatic roadmap for enterprise leaders to execute an SoE strategy
• How SoE enable future-proof, resilient, and intelligent enterprises
