Accelerate Innovation With a DevOps Mindset
Modern IT operations provides organizations with new ways to work.
Applications are critical to driving business function and growth, but legacy apps can slow you down. Outdated technology is difficult and costly to maintain, and can increase your security risk. Are you ready to navigate the road to app modernization?
According to our 2023 digital transformation report:
87% of leaders agree app modernization is necessary for digital transformation.
60% of leaders use app modernization to improve operational efficiency.
Gear Up
Organizations with successful DevOps practices are more agile, responsive and innovative. Leaders looking to pursue modern application development need to shift their thinking.
- Create a common culture and goal.
- People Processes Technology Assess legacy processes.
- Train for skills gaps and shortages.
- Identify where automation adds value.
Hit the gas.
DevOps is a developer-centered approach. So, what do developers want?
- API-driven services
- Frictionless deployment
- Cloud-friendly environment
What developers don’t want.
- Opening ticket requests for VMs, databases or tables
- Finding out requirements for or managing infrastructure
- Platform-based limitations
Providing developers with more self-service offerings can help avoid costly roadblocks along the way.
- CI/CD workflows
- Monitoring and alerting
- Internal infrastructure
- Deployment patterns
- Public cloud infrastructure
- Database provisioning
- Development environments
- Audit logging
Power forward.
With modern IT operations, you can establish a strong foundation to build a DevOps practice by shifting left — getting closer to the developer.
What is modern IT operations?
- Infrastructure provided as a service consumed by developers
- Security, cost controls and governance addressed from deployment to production
- The use of automation and programmatic tools (e.g., Infrastructure as Code (IaC))
- A technology and culture shift away from siloed approaches and toward continuous delivery models
Course correct.
While the end goal of app modernization is clear, it’s challenging to move forward without the IT infrastructure and innovation framework in place first.
