Modern Software Delivery
Quickly realize value in your technology investment while remaining competitive in a disruptive marketplace with a Modern Software Delivery strategy.
A Business Strategy That Harnesses Innovation
Today’s competitive environment requires businesses to deliver new products and services faster than ever before. Technology advancement is fueling innovation in competitors while also enabling industry disruptors to enter the marketplace. To remain competitive, we must understand and prepare for the fact that change is constant. Businesses cannot simply rely on technology or Agile principles to provide the answers since Agile is focused on shippable code rather than actual code in production. Innovation can often get stuck in the Agile apparatus while an organization’s competitors continue to deliver.
Harnessing innovation requires a business strategy that is comprehensive and fundamentally transformative – enabling organizations to capture good ideas and rapidly bring them to the market.
Fundamentals of Modern Software Delivery
Our Modern Software Delivery strategy focuses on transformative opportunities in four fundamental areas that affect a business.
People
Technology innovation happens in organizations that develop strategic partnerships between their business and IT leadership and functions. This collaborative growth-oriented mindset must be valued and applied at all levels of the organization to create high performing teams. High performing teams are cross-functional, collaborative teams that use technology platforms to accelerate their achievements.
Principles
All organizations can benefit from applying Lean Agile principles to their technology delivery. These principles include Business Agility, Product Development, Lean Agile Methodologies, Scrum/Kanban approaches, Visible Work, Integrated Feedback, and Work-In-Process (WIP) Management. By applying Lean Agile principles to software development, business needs can be aligned with technological capabilities
Practices
To move an idea to production as quickly as possible, organizations must apply DevOps engineering practices, tools and techniques across the entire delivery process. DevOps enables your organization to see improved deployment frequency while maintaining quality and reliability. As DevOps capabilities mature, an organization will become better able to identify opportunities for effective workflow automation.
Platforms
One of the fastest ways to increase productivity is to adopt cloud technology platforms that enable scalability and innovation, while remaining both secure and accessible. Cloud platforms become the accelerators that empower high performing teams to deliver value more rapidly.
Rethinking Business Transformation:
In an age of constant change, you must rethink the approach to transformation and technology delivery.
Through our webinar you’ll learn why modern software delivery is fundamental to successful business transformation efforts. Our white paper shows you how to thrive through disruption by transforming to become a modern software delivery organization.
The Value of Applying a Modern Software Delivery Strategy
When high performing teams apply Agile principles and DevOps practices while using cloud platforms to accelerate production, it creates a synergy that enables us to rapidly deliver value without sacrificing reliability or quality. By applying a Modern Software Delivery strategy, we can create a Continuous Delivery Pipeline – a workflow process that enables us to build any software on a safe and reliable basis while increasing output and velocity.
Recent industry studies have reported that applying a Modern Software Delivery strategy brings the following benefits to organizations:
- Adding Modern Software Delivery Practices to an agile environment improves business growth by 63%.
- Organizations see their market capitalization grow 50% higher than their industry peers.
- Mature teams deliver code to production 46 times more often than traditional IT organizations.
- Teams leverage a cloud platform for 83% of their applications.
- Technology delivery speed is improved by 37%, employee retention by 77% and customer engagement by a factor of 4.
