Application Services – Annual Report 2015: “Agile to DevOps? Not so Fast”
Introduction
Enterprises are rapidly adopting Agile methods for application development. However, they are also realizing that in spite of application development becoming Agile, they are unable to deliver applications faster or within budget to their customers. DevOps models are expected to address this problem. DevOps will involve all the stakeholders engaged in developing, testing, and managing applications from the beginning of the application lifecycle. This will reduce time-to-market, cost of quality, and process efficiencies.
Everest Group’s annual research indicates that despite the willingness of the enterprises to deploy DevOps model, they are unsure of the capabilities that service providers possess in order to be a partner in this journey. In addition to that, the research also provides fact-based perspectives on buyer adoption by geography, industry, and revenue size. It analyzes major trends that are shaping the application services market and the outlook for the next year. It also sizes the IT services market in terms of application services and consulting services.
