Understanding Computacenter’s Agile Development Strategy

As businesses across the world adopt new digital platforms, they are asking themselves if their networks are ready for an agile development model. What is agile development? It is the way forward into the future. Agile networks—which fundamentally mean a software defined network—are the basis for agile development. It is necessary to apply an agile development strategy, as well as build an agile development team, to stay on top of the global trends of technological change. Computacenter understands these the principles of agile development and is there to help.
 
Computacenter’s Practice Leader Colin Williams explains that the many businesses and companies facing large-scale digital transformation are relying on the networks in place, which may be reliable and functional, but are liable to be rigid. According to him, what is needed is network flexibility, such that networks can facilitate and accelerate adaptation into the agile framework. For Computacenter, one way to conceptualise network readiness is to consider the key arenas of software defined networking and security. These are critical aspects to consider as application development teams, business teams, and IT operations functions begin to make the shift to agile. It is only through the incorporation of all technological arenas in the process of transformation that the agile development model can successfully contribute to accelerated speed of development and time to market, as well as potentially reduced development costs.
 
It has been Computacenter’s aim to uncover the real efficacy of software defined networking in the creation of their new people-based digitisation solution, Digital Me. The solution works through networking optimised by the use of software to enhance programmability and automation. What this translates to practically is that programmability results in personalisation. Thus, the users may customise their virtual desktop to match their work needs, resulting in greater productivity, innovation, and collaboration across departments. Automation naturally paves the way for consistency and efficiency that finds expression throughout the entire organisation. Computacenter understands that flexibility and adaptability are the means by which companies can move from the IT of the past to the IT of now.
