The digital era is dramatically transforming the pace of doing business. To stay relevant in this ever-shifting business environment, IT leaders need to run core operations in an extremely nimble fashion while focusing continuously on reducing cost and investing more in ‘grow-the-business’ initiatives. However, IT teams are fragmented across the IT Lifecycle of Plan-to-Operate and are not geared to respond swiftly to these dynamic business needs. Moreover, the current way of managing IT continues to consume majority of their time, energy and money, rendering IT to play a support role rather than leading change.
The solution lies in Integrated Services – A new and composable way forward
Fox-technology Integrated Services offers the most advanced end-to-end solution for tailoring ‘run-the-business’ IT by combining next-practice methods and tools to tightly integrate infrastructure and applications into a unified foundation that provides up to 30% cost savings as compared to traditional operating model.
Fox-technology Integrated Services achieves this by seamlessly tying together different stages of IT lifecycle by using a single-thread delivery approach and an operating model that aligns processes across IT services and the technology landscape.
Ways of working
In traditional IT environments, the goals of different teams are often misaligned. For example, development teams focus on speed as they collaborate with the business; infrastructure and operations teams focus on the quality and reliability of the production environment; and the testing team focuses on finding bugs and defects. To accomplish their individual team tasks, they use their own methodologies, ways of working, tools and automation – leading to inefficient processes and lack of transparency. This process usurps their time, energy and budget. What you need is a single-thread delivery approach that unifies the goals of development, testing and support engineers to focus on faster time-to-market, and enhanced quality and reliability. This can be achieved through:
1. Implementing common unified goals across teams
2. Integrating product teams supporting the entire lifecycle
3. Reorienting skills towards full stack engineers
