The Impact of the Accelerating Pace of Business
Applications
Drive competitive advantage
Enable new business opportunity
Applications
IT Operations
Shorter release cycles
Agile development processes
DEMAND
Increased demand
Faster delivery expectations
The Business
RESULT
Lower customer satisfaction
Growing use of shadow IT
Large application backlog
Perceived as barrier to progress
Increased risk
Missed opportunity
Slow Infrastructure Service Delivery Times
… but even with infrastructure automation what about the application?
Days - Weeks
