Business demand continues to outpace IT supply, while IT struggles to maintain and modernize legacy applications. What are the challenges here?@danhushon@klaus_MichaelR@JPMorgenthal
need to do both... 1) show the business impact of the new (IT needs to become internal salespeople) to drive nextgen demand and 2) automate the old to improve economics (but don't automate garbage) and then 3) iterate
But we are struggling with this on a constant basis. Cross-training is critical right now. Incentivizing learning. Working with universities as partners. At this point we can squeeze water from the stone, we need to create to survive
I believe the high costs of maintenance relative to their value to the business is the biggest driver followed by a need to compete in a disrupted industry
bigger driver is the ability to compete in today's market. Disruptors across all industries from inside and out. Intelligent insight is required to succeed which requires open access to information at the edge and into internal legacy systems
We have also seen opportunity with clients in providing the tools and process frameworks supporting this...so for instance, building/administering AWS/Azure based DevOps/automation toolsets ranging from GitHub to Jenkins..& Agile tools like Jira/Confluence
We certainly have our DevCloud Offer that supports substantial hybrid integration. But most clients have a strong PoV - so understanding the toolchain "ontology" is probably more important that a specific instantiation
It's true...helping client understand what release/deployment automation...testing automation/etc are is one of the multi-angle steps f a bigger effort. Sometimes getting down to brass tacks and showing them real automation tools can sell the services.
Sure, we can show our "productivity" e.g. Lorenzo CI w/ DevCloud has more than doubled productivity per developer! while at same time shrinking release windows by 6x
Thanks for joining us today, everyone. Crowdchat is acting a little glitchy this am. If you're having issues with the tool, we apologize. This is a first! and we're working to fix. Please carry on with the agile applications and #DXCTechTalk discussion!
Its NEVER happened before! I've been in touch with crowdchat development team. Just want to make sure everyone understands the experience next time will be so much better!
Yes, we'll get to the bottom of this. I'm sorry for today's chat experience. At least you have the benefit of knowing how these usually run, fast and furious most times--will see what the tool issue was and make sure it doesn't reoccur next time!
How should agile application delivery be extending their trajectory backward to bring underlying operational support structures forward so they become more of an enabler to the overall effort?
Great question... for me it all starts with 2 facets -> move toward #ContinuousIntegration / #RobotBuiltRecipes and log everything to expose telemetry for operational analytics
Are these services 1. Distributed Agile and Managed Services 2. Agile-enabled Delivery & 3. Agile for Digital being included in DXC's offerings? @danhushon@klaus_MichaelR@JPMorgenthal
Dogfood is a powerful way to become customer zero. We do that in DXC. We are also containerizing apps to enterprise grade. includes stateful and transactional systems as well
Hey Jim... so we've long said smart software is replacing smart infrastructure, but in this case containers begin to optimize around a standard lifecycle strategy to enable improved agility.
- very context specific. As a general rule, when industrialised components exist then you should aim to consume unless you really know what you're doing.
There's practically very use for Public Cloud at this point without PaaS. The enterprise can automate VM provisioning. PaaS has always been the end game.
