Advances in information systems technologies and applications and new realities in the business and economic climate are changing the nature of information systems development. In particular, the areas of electronic commerce and Web-based applications challenge our notions of the role of the information systems function in the development process. This essay explores the impact of several of these changes on information systems development, and on developers themselves, and suggests how developers must adapt to meet these new requirements.
