FEATURE : DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION modernisation to capture opportunities to scale and evolve – in short ; to be bold and brave .
“ Rapid change has been forced onto IT teams . And while business stakeholders expect to exercise a degree of agility in execution – IT is saddled with managing their own challenges . From managing vendor complexity , which further extends to integrating disparate systems , along with emerging technologies and legacy infrastructure ; through to budget constraints and a lack of skills to keep pace with business demands ,” said Skendrovic .
As speed to market becomes a primary competitive differentiator , optimising Digital Transformation efforts is critical . Organisations who showcase the characteristics of being bold and brave are 50 % more likely to optimise their Digital Transformation efforts and partner with managed services providers for over half of their IT support . Reducing the mounting infrastructure administration pressure on IT teams by embracing a DevOps culture and platform automation allows IT to optimise transformation efforts by focusing on innovation , and ultimately results in better Mean Time to Repair ( MTTR ) and cost-optimisation , as well as the delivery of continuous improvement across the business .
Skendrovic concluded : “ While change isn ’ t always perceived as positive in the moment , it is important to remember that transformation presents new opportunities for agility , scale and innovation .” p
