Companies Focused on Software and Development
Outperform Peers in the New Application Economy
The results of a global study commissioned by
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA) show that “Leaders” who are investing
in new innovation and development capabilities are growing revenue
at more than twice the rate of “Laggards,” creating an Application
Divide in the marketplace.
The study – How to Survive and Thrive in the
Application Economy – analyzes results from a survey of 1,450
senior business leaders across 13 countries.
These “Leaders” overwhelmingly realize that
software and application development is core to their future
success. In fact, the study found that over 50 percent of companies
surveyed either have made, or will make in the next year, an
acquisition specifically to add talent and strengthen their
development capabilities.
In addition to revenue growth, “Leaders,” as
identified in the study, are experiencing 68 percent higher profit
growth and are seeing more than 50 percent new business growth from
new products and services.
Among the specific investments being made by
“Leaders,” the study uncovered the following, as represented in
this infographic:
- Innovation is at the core of their
success: almost half (49 percent) of the “Leaders” have adopted
DevOps methodologies and technologies to speed application
delivery, versus only 6 percent of the “Laggards.”
- Security is seen as a business enabler
– not as a roadblock to growth: 47 percent of “Leaders” are
experiencing increased revenue from new services enabled by
security. In fact, the study predicts that one-quarter of all IT
spending will be devoted to security over the next three
years.
- “Leaders” are embracing technology as a
business enabler, deploying software to manage their IT investments
more strategically and aligned with business goals.
- A key driver of success for “Leaders”
is the adoption of mobility as an enterprise-wide strategy, with
clear evidence of increased customer satisfaction and faster
time-to-market.
“There is clear evidence that enterprises of
all sizes, in all markets, have to embrace the application economy
and place software development and delivery at the center of their
business strategy,” said John Michelsen, chief technology officer,
CA Technologies. “Business success is tied to application
performance, and the ability of a business to drive growth is no
longer just about the product or service they deliver, but
increasingly about a complete software-driven experience.”
Additional findings of the study
include:
- Enterprises responding to the rapid
changes brought about by the accelerating application economy are
bringing more software development back in-house (from 33
percent to 44 percent).
- 94 percent of Line of Business (LOB)
executives are facing increased pressure to release applications
more quickly to satisfy consumer demand, with 51 percent of
businesses surveyed having released at least four customer-facing
applications in the last year alone.
- Despite this rate of application
delivery, only 15 percent of LOB executives are completely
satisfied with IT’s speed in delivering new applications or
services.
- As a result, 88 percent of
enterprises surveyed are planning to adopt DevOps to increase
application delivery.
- Businesses face internal obstacles
in addressing the application economy
- 25 percent of the senior IT leaders
surveyed said that there was a lack of understanding of the impact
and benefits of the application economy at the senior level.
- 26 percent said there was a lack of
knowledge and skills.
- 24 percent said that there were
cultural issues.
