The folks over at Forrester Research recently released a new report entitled "The State Of Enterprise Software Adoption: 2007 To 2008."  Here’s an article on it (thanks Michael) and a couple of interesting quotes related to the priority around application integration as well as moving to a business process focus:

"The No. 1 software priority for 2008 is improving integration between applications, cited by 33% of IT senior executives surveyed by Forrester."

"If we take all our survey data, we see people looking at integrating applications, people looking at upgrading packaged applications, people moving from a function to a business process perspective,"
