In 2011, Mark Andreessen Warned “software is
eating the world”
• While company’s like UBER, Google, Amazon, Facebook,
Square, Twitter embrace this…
• Large enterprises have chosen to ignore the warning, hoping it
would go away.
• Leaders like Jamie Diamond, CEO of JPMorgan, warned the
financial industry that “Silicon Valley is Coming” (even then
that was 4 years later, in 2015)
• Why is it so difficult for the enterprise to lean into this software-
defined world?

Dealing with all that Yak takes days, weeks months...
The Yak locks Devs in a cycle:
• Of low / no value meetings to discuss how to work the
Yak
• Of low productivity
• Of lower quality work
• Of unhappy teams
This Yak makes even the fun stuff seem burdensome and
difficult
...Low Quality Output, Crappy software, Bad Design, Poor
UX.
In the end, all this delivers ZERO benefits to the Business

“Spring alleviates developers of undifferentiated heavy lifting. It
makes the right thing easy by providing best practices for cloud
native applications and continuous delivery—out of the box. It
allows devs to focus on delivering business value by minimizing the
overhead building production ready apps.”
“My team has just started using it, (Spring) and their faces light up like
Christmas morning when they understood the implications.”

“Spring is a great complement to our tech ecosystem for creating
products that provide critical customer support. It removes the blocking

solving business needs that have an impact in our markets and
industry.”
