Business Benefits

In the future, every company will become a software company. From agriculture to zoo management, every enterprise feels pressure to use software to remain competitive. Yet the old approaches to software architecture and development were slow, ponderous, and prone to error. In response, new architectures and new development approaches are allowing companies to quickly, accurately, and continuously new software in support of their fast-changing businesses. These new approaches provide for:

  • Faster Time to Market: Modern architectures and development methodologies prioritize delivering small, usable increments of software at regular intervals. This approach enables businesses to release functional features and updates sooner.
  • Improved Customer Satisfaction: Agile development involves continuous collaboration with customers and stakeholders throughout the development process. Regular feedback loops and demonstrations of working software allow businesses to incorporate changes and refinements based on near real-time input.
  • More productive development: Agile methodologies emphasize prioritization based on business value. Teams work on the most valuable features and tasks first, ensuring that resources are allocated to the aspects of the project that have the most impact on business goals.

Common Challenges

Change is hard and changing the way developers architect, design, code, test, and deploy software is particularly hard.  Some of the common challenges include:

  • Cultural Shift: Full stack development (modern architectures and DevSecOps) requires a cultural shift within an organization. It involves breaking down silos between development, security, and operations teams and fostering a collaborative mindset.
  • Skills Gap: DevSecOps requires personnel with a combination of development, security, and operations skills. Finding and training individuals who possess this mix of expertise can be difficult. Bridging the skills gap often requires investment in training and development programs.
  • Tooling and automation: New architectures require new tools. New development approaches require new tools.  Options for these new tools abound.  These tools must be carefully selected and implemented.  They must be integrated – with each other and with the enterprise’s overall process.  Development personnel must be trained in the use of these new tools.
