Businesses today face an unparalleled rate of change. In response, leaders need to unleash innovation to help them seise business opportunities, achieve key objectives, and execute with reduced cost and risk.
Organisations deliver innovation through smarter products and services – the building blocks for new and differentiated solutions across every industry. But, while 93% of senior business executives say innovation is a top strategic priority, the gap in their ability to execute has grown three-fold. Product and service design, creation, and management have become prohibitively complex.
At the heart of these new and differentiated solutions is software -- the invisible thread that makes products and services more instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. It is not clear, however, if companies today have an effective process for delivering software. Software projects simply haven’t delivered:
- 62% failed to meet their schedules
- 49% suffered budget overruns
- 41% failed to deliver on expected business value and ROI
The impact to the business? Rolling out a new service six months late drives 33% less profit.
To overcome these challenges, leaders need to:
- Consider software as a strategic business asset
- Build an enduring competency in software delivery
- Manage software delivery as an agile and cost-effective business process
- Implement a framework to continuously improve this process to achieve desired business outcomes
To do this successfully, businesses must deploy a more flexible and affordable infrastructure to optimise the business process of software delivery.
Applying the visibility, control and automation of a dynamic infrastructure (US) to software delivery can help you:
- Increase business flexibility with lower start-up and maintenance costs. (US)
- Maximise organisational agility to respond quickly to change. (US)
- Improve productivity and quality across the service lifecycle. (US)
