All organizations are thinking and becoming more like “tech”companies and digital business capabilities are beginning to dominate every industry. As a result, everything is moving more quickly as companies try to achieve first-mover advantage or become fast followers.
Every company in order to survive and grow will need to become a technology company.
Every business will need to become a digital business.
build> Mark Andreeson - “software is eating the world”
<build> We spent $153 billion worldwide on public cloud service in 2013, by 2016 analysts predict that half of the collaboration between business will occur through APIs, and that 268 billion mobile apps will be downloaded by 2017.
To thrive in this new reality, developing and delivering applications that drive superior user experiences and engage your customers and staff is the new business imperative.
Examples of this new application economy are everywhere, and they are changing the world of business.
In the entertainment industry, applications like Netflix and Hulu have already transformed video, and are becoming the new standards
In the payments industry, smartphone applications like Square and Google Wallet are challenging the dominance of traditional banks and credit cards
In the transportation industry, software-driven services like Uber and Lyft are rewriting the world of taxi and limo services
In the hospitality industry, services like AirBnB and Homeaway are upending the tradition hotel and accommodation business
The application economy means new and unprecedented demands for IT organizations and expectations continue to grow. Living up to these expectations is a tremendous struggle for many, and may require updating, revising or replacing infrastructure, app design, service delivery, IT skills, technology assets or even business models.
Customers expect to connect with companies via software for fast easy access to products, services, and information.
If your company isn’t meeting these expectations, your customers are likely to go elsewhere.
In the application economy, external, revenue-generating customers are the most influential stakeholders.
The application economy is here. In this environment, applications drive the relationship between most businesses and their customers, making all businesses a technology or software company.
For IT leaders and their workforce, that means the role of IT must evolve to become much more strategic to the business, lessening the amount of resources IT can commit to back-office functions and support. IT must still manage these back-end systems, but considering the speed at which apps are released and the mobile devices and platforms on which end users access them, IT needs more flexibility, agility and ease-of-use than ever before.
Management Cloud is a set of integrated business applications delivered as cloud services that enable you to run IT like a business – delivering the insights you need to make the right decisions and enabling you to empower a modern workforce.
Also in the application economy, continuous innovation is required. Companies are under greater pressure than ever before to bring new groundbreaking services to market faster and faster. And the quality of what is delivered must be top-notch, as customers have more options and less patience and tolerance for a poor application experience.
DevOps is about ensuring that development and operations teams are working together effectively to bring innovation to market quickly and seamlessly. It’s also about delivering higher-quality applications and ensuring operational excellence – and we have the expertise and solutions that can help you implement a DevOps approach.
Amongst companies we surveyed recently, security was identified as the top obstacle in the application economy. Applications have become the critical point of engagement with customers and taking an identity-centric approach to security is essential since users today expect to be able to access their applications and data from many different devices and from wherever they are. Furthermore, today’s disruptive and leading-edge applications rely heavily on APIs to share data and integrate with other applications and services. A strategy for managing and securing APIs needs to be implemented as part of the development process.
Our approach to Security focuses not just on protecting the business from risk, but even more importantly on enabling business growth. We take an identity-centric approach to security to deliver both the risk-protection companies need and the flexibility and ease-of-use application users expect. Our API management and security offerings give organizations the confidence to publicly open valuable data and application functionality as APIs and help developer teams realize faster delivery of secure mobile apps and cloud services.
Within each of these disciplines and across the entire lifecycle of your applications, these are the practices that are critical to success in the application economy.
With our Management Cloud offerings, we can help you:
Prioritize your investments and portfolio of services to balance resources and investments
Analyze and measure the business impact of technology investments, strategies and operations.
Support both business users and IT workers with a modern (mobile) approach to managing their team, individual projects, tasks and activities. Also empower functional IT support and delivery teams to improve quality of service with fewer resources, and less cost and risk than ever before.
We help you at every stage of the DevOps lifecycle:
Develop & Test – we help you remove constraints from the development and testing process so you can deliver higher-quality software with greater speed
Deploy – we help automate and orchestrate complex, multi-tier application releases to speed deployments, reduce manual errors and lower costs
Assure -- we help you assure the performance of services once they’re in production, providing deep visibility and insight into applications and their underlying infrastructure across the entire ecosystem
Our approach to security spans:
Identities – identities are the secure access control point. We secure the entire channel end-to-end from the app to the backend API to the data itself
Access – we deliver secure and seamless access across apps, devices and machines. Convenient access is not just limited to the web application anymore, but applied to mobile apps and APIs
APIs – our solutions for managing and securing APIs will help you to accelerate new application development and extend your business into new areas and channels
And these are highlights of some of the specific solutions we offer within each of our areas of expertise:
