According to Intel®, Business and IT leaders realize that a modern technology infrastructure is the foundation for their business and creates an opportunity for revenue growth by bringing innovation to market faster. Expanded revenue opportunities include faster products and service development, agile and optimized business operations, and enhanced customer engagement. Leaders are asking their teams to embrace modern application development and life-cycle practices (such as Agile and DevOps), increase collaboration and process integrations, and increase reliance on key business performance indicators (KPIs) to gauge and measure outcomes.
Agile and DevOps practices enable application developers to accelerate their pace of software development. DevOps also enables closer collaboration between developers and IT infrastructure and operations (I&O) teams. Organizations are also adopting modern operational processes and methodologies (such as AIOps) to optimize infrastructure operations through data-driven, intelligent operations.
