Moving applications to the cloud and providing more mobility support for an enterprise's customers are the two notable emphases for respondents to a Forrester Research survey.

Also notable was the significantly higher interest in consolidating communications suppliers. Look for more supplier churn, if that trend continues.
Nearly as big a change is the desire to consolidate or change equipment suppliers, as well.
