Westcoast Ignite: Accelerating Innovation in a Hybrid IT world

Operating your apps and data across all of these technologies and platforms is complex in today’s Hybrid IT reality. Although enterprises didn’t plan for a Hybrid IT world – it has become the answer to achieve speed and flexibility in our digital world. To make Hybrid IT simple – and optimal – enterprises must: Keep the business running: and address the inefficiencies of existing environments (inflexible, legacy, siloes, overprovisioning, underutilisation, capital-intensive) – to free resources for innovation. • Enterprises continue to spend a disproportionate amount of budget keeping the lights on. • Rigid technology infrastructure was cited as the leading barrier preventing rapid innovation and speed to market. Deliver new products and services faster: by speeding how you create new apps and services (agile, MVP strategies, containers, as a service) across mobile, IoT, AI and more – amidst a growing ecosystem of partners • HPE|Oxford Economics survey shows that companies leading their peers in pursuing rapid ideation also report superior financial results. • This demands a more experimental approach which is suited to the wealth of as-a-service models available – particularly pay-per use models that help accelerate innovation and growth. • Companies achieving growth do a lot of experimentation and build innovation into everyday operations. These companies take “lots of small steps” and readjust. They take a step, adjust, take another step (no large lurches).
