In the Application Economy, speed, innovation, and quality, have become table stakes. If you can’t meet your customers’ expectations, they will surely find a competitor who can. Whether your organization is in one of the sectors facing the most intense digital competition (like insurance, banking, telecommunications or retail), or a more traditional industry, how rapidly and successfully you embrace a software-driven digital transformation strategy will likely have a profound effect on your organization’s long term viability. In this Whitepaper, learn how the Application Economy is driving Digital Transformation in companies, and how you can position your organization for success.

Nell'economia delle applicazioni, ogni business dipende dal software. Per questo motivo DevOps sta rapidamente diventando una delle materie di maggior valore per l'azienda. Si focalizza sul miglioramento della qualità e sull'accelerazione della delivery di nuove applicazioni sul mercato e per ottenere questi risultati integra in maniera serrata sviluppo e operations.

Ormai ovunque, le aziende guardano con interesse a ciò che inizialmente era considerato solo un termine alla moda, potenzialmente superabile in tempi brevi da altre novità.

Collaborando ogni giorno con membri effettivi di team di operations e sviluppo di applicazioni software a ogni livello, CA Technologies è ben consapevole che il "nuovo" termine DevOps deve essere chiarito, analizzato, esaminato.

Im Internet of Things (IoT) werden bis zum Jahr 2020 voraussichtlich 26 Milliarden Geräte installiert sein. Anbieter von IoT-Produkten und - Services werden steigende Umsätze erzielen, die 2020 die Marke von 300  Mrd.  USD überschreiten werden. Dabei wird durch Verkäufe an unterschiedliche Endmärkte ein globaler Mehrwert von 1,9 Billionen USD geschaffen werden.

Das ist viel Geld, und Unternehmen wie die MUFG Union Bank, Nordstrom und Swisscom sorgen dafür, dass sie dank geeigneter Softwareanwendungen und -services in dieser neuen Realität ganz vorn dabei sind. Kunden über diese wachsenden Channels zu erreichen und ihre Erwartungen mit beeindruckenden Experiences zu erfüllen, wird für jedes erfolgreiche Unternehmen zur alltäglichen Praxis werden.

In the application economy, every business is a software business.This is why DevOps is quickly becoming one of the most valuable disciplines for your business. It’s focused on improving the quality and speed of delivering new apps to market. And it’s about tightly integrating development and operations in order to do so.

This is driving businesses everywhere to take a second look at what they may have initially thought was just a buzzword – here one day and gone the next.

Now everyone is starting to wonder, “Can we adopt a DevOps method ourselves? And will it work for us?”

The mobile app has become “the” strategic initiative for all digital organizations attempting to drive business forward. “By 2017, mobile apps will be downloaded more than 268 billion times, generating revenue of more than $77 billion — making apps one of the most popular computing tools for users across the globe.”1 The app has become more than a simple method of communication. It is the new critical point of engagement, the face of the organization, and quite possibly the difference maker in customers staying or leaving. Getting the “user experience” (or UX) right in the eyes of the consumer is no longer a nice to have but fundamental to achieving success.

In his 1966 book “The Psychology of Science,” American psychologist Abraham Maslow tackled the idea that those in the field of psychology needed to approach treatment from multiple perspectives, to take on new ideas, and not just continue using the same theories and techniques created by Freud and his followers so many years ago. Acknowledging that changing your point of view can be difficult, Maslow wrote “[I]t is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything like a nail.” We have all had this experience. We get so used to the way things have been done in the past, we sometimes don’t question the reasons for doing them.

OAuth is an emerging Web standard for authorizing limited access to applications and data. It is designed so that users can grant restricted access to resources they own—such as pictures residing on a site like Flickr or SmugMug—to a third-party client like a photo printing site. In the past, it was common to ask the user to share their username and password with the client, a deceptively simple request masking unacceptable security risk. In contrast to this, OAuth promotes a least privilege model, allowing a user to grant limited access to their applications and data by issuing a token with limited capability.

Across industry sectors, the boundaries of the traditional enterprise are blurring, as organizations open up their on-premise data and application functionality to partner organizations, the Web, mobile apps, smart devices and the cloud. APIs (application programming interfaces) form the foundation of this new open enterprise, allowing enterprises to reuse their existing information assets across organizational boundaries.
