Reshaping Software Delivery in the Enterprise
Today’s enterprise IT organizations are complex webs of interrelated infrastructure, software, and protocol that, despite best efforts, have grown difficult to manage and lack the raw efficiency needed for future success. Stakeholders from across the enterprise are demanding more and more from this complex IT resource environment:
- Business units are constantly pressing for new applications to solve business problems while requiring greater scale and performance from existing software assets.
- Infrastructure teams are looking to consolidate resources while boosting performance in an effort to counter drops in budget and the enterprises demand to become more cost efficient.
- Software developers are looking for ways to speed time to market, provisioning time, and application maintenance.
Current IT strategies place disproportionate focus on infrastructure despite the fact that all stakeholders agree on a common layer: the application layer. Unfortunately, complexity prevents leveraging the application layer as the focal point of IT and achieving these goals. Service-based approaches to software hold the key. In the independent software vendor space, Software as a Service (SaaS) and cloud computing have proven to be effective in combating complexity and solving critical problems like application management and provisioning, “on-tap” scalability and cross-function resource sharing. Apprenda brings the foundations of SaaS to IT departments, reshaping how we think about infrastructure, applications and those who consume them.
