resultscost
“Decreased directly related capex costs by about 25%, increased opex by about 15%, Long term, I expect periodic capex purchases (e.g. storage, servers, datacenter space, etc. to also decrease).”
EVP, Data Center Consulting
resultsROI
“Microservices enables lower hardware costs, no long term lock in on monolithic, traditional IT model of buying and holding hardware & software, enable us to be more agile without long term Capex, and increase ROI on our returns. Enables us to scale up and down on demand without monolithic hardware & application costs”
Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Architect, Fortune 500 Enterprise
resultsreleasecycles
”We’re using GitHub for our source control, Chef and Puppet to do the orchestration and automation, and Docker to spin up microservices. It used to take three months but now we can have releases going every day.”
Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Architect, Fortune 500 Enterprise
”We can now release several times a day rather than weekly or monthly.”
EVP, Data Center Consulting
resultsproductivity
“We have created an enterprise team to architect and deploy micro service based shared capabilities for adoption by vertical tech teams”
SVP, F100 Bank
“Select players from existing teams to create a small nimble team for microservices as we scale up”
Sr. Cloud Infrastructure Architect, Fortune 500 Enterprise
resultssecurity
“Since we are more agile and environment being build are nimble, temporarily we started securing microservices servers while building them, enabling more application level access, DevOps access and temporary SSL Certificate management … provide[s] more visibility at [the] API gateway level.”

ACCESS TO THE LEADING MINDS AND INFLUENCERS IN ENTERPRISE TECH
VETTING YOUR IT ARCHITECTURE INVESTMENTS
23&meIt is no longer possible to remain complacent in this industry, and one size does not fit all. In order to survive, technology leadership must understand the state of their organization, of their sector, and must keep up with what disruptions lie around the corner.
ETR has laid a decade of ground work “swabbing the cheeks” of the most influential minds in the technology + financial landscape. These insights, and the ecosystem of enterprise leading technologists that drives them, directly determine the shape + velocity of the landscape of enterprise technology.
The next step lies in engaging more deeply with the leaders in this community, through new, platformic experiences - in order to stay lean, fast, and strong enough to not just survive, but to thrive, with the coming changes...

ETR surveyed 873 CIOs in October
2017 about their spending intentions
in the enterprise for 2H vs. 1H
ETR quantitatively determined which microservices are best aligned with the top three public cloud vendors

“Container orchestration is something we are adopting and mastering. One line of the business might be on Chef and another on Puppet. That's still something in the space of evaluation of what is the real agility and most value.“

“Now we’re putting
everything in the cloud.
Going into the cloud provides
the ability to connect with a
lot of other cloud service
providers, such as New Relic
or Datadog. We tie things in
very smoothly with AWS.“

Public cloud + containers have disrupted traditional architectures.
In turn, monolithic vendors are becoming a liability as the industry shifts to agile architecture - small, flexible, autonomous pieces.
The results are in : reduced capex costs & shortened release cycles - months to daily
The new approach : Build forward-looking development teams (from new or existing teams), understand the idiosyncratic organizational needs, own & curate the infrastructure to meet your needs, incorporate security from the start, develop sprints to optimize & stay ahead of peers, mitigate investment risk, and maintain the velocity needed to survive in the new enterprise technology landscape.
In this developer-driven IT world, a data driven approach is necessary to survive - to thrive.
