Modern delivery of IT
Optimizing and integrating the IT value delivery chain to drive digital transformation

At the heart of the Future of IT lies a fundamentally different way of rapidly and safely developing and deploying technology, which we call modern delivery. Built upon continuously anticipating and leading customers to new digital interactions, it requires business and technology teams to be tightly coupled across all aspects of the lifecycle.
Watch our video and read on to learn about leveraging modern delivery techniques to accelerate design and delivery.
Without an optimized modern delivery model, organizations struggle to find business value in the products and services IT delivers.
IT challenges | Business challenges |
---|---|
Difficulty scaling a transformation program Difficulty scaling agile Lack of end-to-end control for delivery teams Lack of a standard DevSecOps toolchain Lack of modern architecture capabilities | Executive buy-in Change in culture and incentives Impact on day-to-day operational roles Lack of data and integration to allow business to realize value |

Reducing change failure rates
The solution
The modern delivery model enables organizations to keep pace and run at market speed.
Digital leaders consistently apply modern delivery model components that accelerate adoption and maximize value, and changing the technology delivery model requires a comprehensive understanding of organizational, procedural, architectural, and technical challenges to maintain integration between the business and IT.
An optimized modern delivery model requires an organization to:
- orient teams around products rather than projects
- implement a scaling framework (ex.SAFe)
- adopt modern application architecture
- align teams by objectives and key results (OKRs)
- leverage a connected DevSecOps toolchain
- deliver intelligence to operational activities (intelligent operations).
