Methodology drives 19 percent higher quality
software and 18 percent more customers
A new study released today by CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA)
titled, “DevOps: The Worst-Kept Secret to Winning in the
Application Economy,” reveals that
having a DevOps strategy helps drive tangible business benefits to
enterprises. Vanson Bourne conducted the survey with 1,425 senior
IT and business leaders worldwide and found 88 percent of them
already have or plan to adopt a DevOps strategy.
According to the study, respondents have experienced anywhere
from a 14 to 21 percent improvement in business in the form of
increased numbers of customers, faster time-to-market and improved
quality and performance of applications. US respondents have seen
more improvements than the global average, for instance about 27
percent increased collaboration between departments, a 26 percent
reduction in time spent fixing and maintaining applications and a
24-25 percent increase in the number of customers as well as
software and services that would otherwise not be possible.
“DevOps is a powerful revenue driver. About 34 percent of
respondents working at organizations with greater than average
profit growth said they had already adopted DevOps while only 17
percent of those with less than average profit growth had done so,”
said Andi Mann, vice president, CA Technologies. “The argument
against DevOps is over. Global business and IT leaders need DevOps
to transform their enterprises into application-led businesses,
drive their competitiveness and create business growth.”
Other key findings include:
- DevOps adopters are likely to invest in
people and tools over the next year as part of their implementation
of the strategy:
- The top investment item is hiring new
resources with necessary skills (63 percent global and 72 percent
in the United States), followed by engaging a consulting firm (51
percent global and 53 percent in the United States). More training
for dev and ops personnel was cited by 46 percent.
- A need to improve quality and
performance of the applications as well as the end customer
experience are major drivers (44 percent and 42 percent in the
United States, respectively).
- Nearly all organizations with greater
than average profit growth have experienced tangible benefits by
adopting a DevOps strategy:
- About 95 to 97 percent of these
companies have seen increased frequency of deployments of software
and services as well as applications made available across more
platforms.
- Security and organizational complexity
remain as major obstacles in adopting the strategy (28 percent and
27 percent respectively).
