Solution Overview

4. The Impact of the Accelerating Pace of Business
DEMAND
Applications
 Drive competitive advantage
 Enable new business opportunity
Applications
IT Operations
 Shorter release cycles
 Agile development processes
 Increased demand
 Faster delivery expectations
The Business
RESULT
 Increased risk
 Missed opportunity
 Large application backlog
 Perceived as barrier to progress
 Lower customer satisfaction
 Growing use of shadow IT

5. Slow Infrastructure Service Delivery Times
Days - Weeks
Wait Wait Wait Work
Manual efforts:
4 - 6 Hours
Infrastructure
Service
 Organizational siloes lead to wait times in slow workflows
 Time consuming manual tasks
 Manual configurations lead to inconsistencies, errors and need for rework
… but even with infrastructure automation what about the application?
