Application Services – Annual Report 2016: “No DevOps No Digital”
Introduction
Enterprises have realized that in order to become truly digital, they need to develop a holistic applications and infrastructure strategy, with DevOps as the pivotal enabler. However, as they try to scale up their adoption of Agile and DevOps principles, they are riddled with challenges that hinder further adoption. This also limits organizational agility to become digital owing to the lack of cultural change, process obsolescence, and technology misalignment.
Everest Group’s annual research indicates that though enterprises are keen to adopt DevOps principles, most organizations struggle with them and require hand-holding on their journey. However, this has not resulted in higher engagement with service providers, as providers themselves are scaling up their portfolio to meet this demand. The research also provides fact-based analysis of buyer trends by geography, industry, and revenue size. It also analyzes major trends impacting the application services market and provides an outlook for the year.
