Explanation / Answer

Before we begin with the effect Millennials have on Software engineering, the first question is “Who are the so-called Millennials?”

As Mathieu Turpault on his article on Wired Magazine said “Millennials are the first generation to truly live by their own set of consumer and business rules. As consumers, they expect the brands they follow to share their principles (much as Gen X and Boomers did before them). But as entrepreneurs, they’re also able to deliver on it. As employees, as consumers and as innovators millennials are acting as product development’s agents of change.”

Millennials are taking over the work force . As per research from Pew Charitable Trust, majority of employees approximtely 53.5 million are Millennials. We can all agree that they have entered out workplaces en masse, but how they reshape the culture if our institutions are still yet to be fully realized.

Reports on Millennials suggests nearly 20% of millennials say Google is their ideal employer. 13% of millennials named Apple, and 9% listed Facebook as their ideal place to work.

Millennials' career aspirations are unsurprisingly driven towards tech, more specifically Silicon Valley. Technology as the number one entry point for investors wanting to tailor their investing strategy to Millennial themes.

Which brings us to our topic of discussion, on the types of changes that we’re seeing in Enterprise Software Engineering in modern workplace that are directly related to Millennial influence.

A key driver in tech companies in previous generation was “how to make existing technologies better”. Enter the Millennials, the tech companies which are either created or largely run by Millennials have transformed the “how to” question from -” make existing technologies better” to “make the next big thing people will want to use”.

When looking at their career goals, today’s Millennials are just as interested in how a business develops its people and how it contributes to society as they are in its products and profits.

With the advent of deeper communication channels brought to us by social media, large corporations have become much more transparent to their consumer base – and as a result business are under a greater amount of pressure to deliver products that align with their constituents’ expectations and beliefs.

Historically, and justifiably, enterprise software hasn’t been an appealing vehicle for anyone to drive. If company’s like Google and Apple are Teslas, then company’s like Oracle and Salesforce are Priuses. They get the job done, they make our lives better in the process, but at the end of the day, no one goes home and day dreams about how they can rev the engine of a cloud-based computing system—well, most people don’t anyways.

But that’s precisely where things are changing. With Google and Apple making bigger strides to compete with Microsoft in the Enterprise space, and with companies like Slack (which recently reached a 2.8 billion dollar valuation) showing consumers and investors alike that workplace software can adopt the same types of fun and innovative modes of social communication that people use in their personal lives, we’re seeing just the beginnings of how the Enterprise Software Business will be perceived in the years to come, and Millennials are the key drivers behind this growth.
