One of the technological trends that is pushing customers towards Thin clients is what is called as SOA (Service Oriented Architecture).
What SOA does is that it can browser-enable several applications without touching the others and thus can approach modernization as an ongoing process rather than a do-or-die, date-driven event for IT departments. With more and more applications becoming browser-enabled and web based, the only device needed to access them is a thin client.
As the article states : The thin client is here to stay, and the browser-based interface is just a better solution for today's rapidly changing business climate. The article ends with a dire threat for organisations not adopting SOA : If your applications aren't ready, your organization won't be a player; it will be an observer.
Interesting read that will give you a whiff of changing macro-technology trends will affect client computing.
