Results Highlight a Disconnect in Realizing
Benefits of DevOps: to Drive Business Agility, and Increase Revenue
and Profit Growth
According to the results of a new global study, commissioned by
CA Technologies (NASDAQ:CA), only 20 percent of organizations that
have attempted to implement DevOps have fully deployed it. The
research also found that these "advanced" DevOps adopters were more
likely to report that their digital initiatives contributed to
competitiveness, customer retention and top- and bottom-line
results.
In the study titled “Assembling the DevOps Jigsaw,” more than 80
percent of senior IT and business executives confirm nine
components that are key to maximize DevOps effectiveness. Vital
areas of focus include business stakeholder education; security and
compliance measures; and cross functional IT processes.
“To leverage the full potential of DevOps, organizations need to
ensure IT is properly skilled and working collaboratively, as well
as put in place the necessary enablers and controls,” said Michael
Madden, general manager, DevOps, CA Technologies. “CA’s DevOps
solutions, developed using an agile methodology, play a crucial
role in helping customers use their digital initiatives to drive a
competitive advantage in an increasingly fast-paced, ever-changing
business environment.”
Even though DevOps is seen as a key component to driving
business agility and keeping up with customer demands, only a
little over half (55 percent) of respondents stated that they have
a well-defined DevOps strategy and objectives. Furthermore, while
86 percent considered business stakeholder education, and the
alignment of IT and business priorities to be important, only 33
percent and 37 percent respectively had completed these steps.
Although both development and operations teams may have
individually implemented modern methods and automation techniques,
the majority (63 percent) of the DevOps adopters say there’s still
work to be done in relation to infrastructure and tooling.
Also, with 46 percent of respondents still working on security
and compliance, it’s clear that most DevOps activity is not well
supported from an enabling platform and risk management
perspective.
Assembling all of the pieces of the DevOps jigsaw puzzle may
require time, effort and careful planning, but the results are
worth it. Compared to those without DevOps, advanced DevOps
adopters are:
- 2.5 times more likely to have seen
improvements in customer retention
- 2 times more likely to have seen
improvements in customer acquisition
- 3.4 times more likely to have seen
progress on market share
- 2 times more likely to have seen a
positive impact on revenue growth
- 2.4 times more likely to have
experienced higher profit growth
