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.

The application economy poses several challenges to a digital transformation strategy. To truly capitalize on the opportunity, organizations like yours have to think bigger than small-scale augmentations or throwing more resources at the problem. Such “solutions” might work in isolated cases, but they’ll never move the needle enough or drive competitive differentiation. With Continuous Deployment, you can transform and accelerate the SDLC, so complex deployments occur in hours or minutes, not weeks or days.

In today’s fast-moving, ultra-competitive business landscape, the days of enterprises spending months—or even years—building, testing and releasing an application, service or new set of capabilities to the market are over. Customers, technology users and the market as a whole are more nimble than ever before, and their demands for innovative new functionality have grown in concert. In other words, customers are no longer content to wait for the next big release—nor are they willing to deal with glitches and defects when it arrives. In this brief you will learn how an enterprise release automation solution can help your organization simplify and accelerate your application delivery processes.

There has been growing buzz about DevOps. DevOps is a methodology that unites the often separate functions of software development (Dev) and production and operations (Ops) into a single, integrated, and continuous process. DevOps is about breaking down the barriers between Dev and Ops. It leverages people, processes, and technology to stimulate collaboration and innovation across the entire software development and release process.

Dev and Ops should always be part of an integrated process, but that’s not always as easy as it sounds. You may be stuck in what we call “Dysfunction Junction.” Read this eBooklet to learn about the pitfalls of DevOps, how you can avoid them, and how to get started on your DevOps journey.

DevOps helps drive continuous collaboration with the end-customer, gaining further visibility into online and mobile application usage and its effect on the brick-and-mortar experience. The data your company can derive from this collaboration should be used to continuously validate assumptions made earlier in the development process.

Today’s empowered consumers have high expectations for the companies they do business with. They expect real-time communication, instant information, and the ability to connect in multiple ways. And they want it to be simple. A DevOps approach can help to accomplish this.

Mobile applications could be considered a blessing and a curse for enterprise IT.

On one hand, the smaller, more discreet functionality implied by most (though not all) mobile apps offers to help IT continue to break from its past history of monolithic applications, scope creep, and so on.

That’s something mobile has in common with DevOps – the mosh pit of development/deployment/operations that pushes companies toward automation, continuous deployment of small updates, and generally a more holisitic view of how software applications work in a business setting.
