National App Day 2025: Industry leaders weigh in on app economy
"This National App Day, I would be remiss not to recognize how profoundly the application development landscape has changed over the last year with the rise of autonomous agents - signaling a pivotal change in how we build. As organizations integrate AI into every workflow, developers are transitioning from routine coding to designing and orchestrating systems that support agentic capabilities at far greater scale and speed."
"The future of software development is now deeply intertwined with agentic innovation. Many developers are evolving into 'cognitive architects,' shaping systems and strategies far beyond what the role once demanded. With the end of 2025 fast approaching, National App Day is a timely reminder for enterprises to reassess how their application strategies will evolve alongside this shift in developer roles and AI-driven workflows in the coming year."
"National App Day is a celebration of how software continues to shape the modern workplace. As organizations embrace a growing ecosystem of apps, the challenge is no longer access but rather alignment. The next generation of workplace applications must move beyond isolated tools to become intelligent collaborators, integrating data, workflows, and user intent. At Xerox, we're building app ecosystems that extend from print to IT Solutions that help clients automate repetitive work, unify digital processes, and drive better decisions."
Autonomous agents and AI integration are shifting application development from routine coding to designing and orchestrating agentic systems. Developers increasingly act as cognitive architects who build and coordinate systems that embed agent capabilities at scale. Workplace apps must evolve from isolated tools into intelligent collaborators that align data, workflows, and user intent. Organizations need app ecosystems that automate repetitive work, unify digital processes, and surface better decisions. Enterprises should reassess application strategies to prioritize orchestration, integration, and agentic innovation so app-driven productivity can advance into its next chapter.
