IT Operations and Transformation
The CIO’s reputation depends on how effectively IT serves the business. What is changing today is the maturity of the attitude towards the strategic importance of IT as a partner to the business, rather than a subordinate function. The DEJ study illustrates this: there has been a 41% increase in the number of organizations reporting that the key role of IT operations is “enabling innovation.” In other words, IT operations must support the transformation agenda, not (just) the business routine.
However, moving from an operational services provider to a transformational innovator requires a significant shift. Foundational elements like automation are a hygiene factor. According to DEJ research, the average cost of not having automation capabilities for IT performance management is $46 million.
IT support must evolve from transactional to transformational.
When it comes to app development, the “move faster” playbook is on everyone’s minds. Market demand and user expectations are steadily increasing, and with so much disruption happening over the last two years, the demands for fast and flexible delivery of new apps and services are higher than ever. That’s why the 41% increase in revenue loss due to “delays in app releases since 2019,” as reported in the DEJ study, is an alarming statistic.
Emboldened by recent challenges, a similar number (41%) reported an increase in “delivering new and unique customer experiences” as a key driver of IT investment over the past two years. Development teams are evolving their agile approaches to a more fundamental value stream management approach.
According to a report by industry group Value guatemala mobile database Consortium, “value stream management practices are more common in higher performing organizations,” although 80% of teams currently do not practice value stream mapping.
Speed is vital and is the driving force behind new approaches to value-based delivery methods.
Modernization of core business systems
A major part of today’s technology challenge is how to protect, leverage, and modernize traditional, long-standing IT investments. According to a recent “Modernize on Strength” study by Micro Focus and Vanson Bourne, 72% of respondents prioritize modernization as an overall business strategy.
One of the key elements of the modernization strategy is the commitment to cloud-native technologies. DEJ reports a 3.6x return on investment due to the effective management of cloud-oriented modernization projects.
But modernization is not just a technology issue; there are significant challenges with people and resources. The Vanson Bourne/Micro Focus study reports that 48% of respondents want to invest in solutions that “allow them to close the skills gaps needed to modernize.”
