Gartner reports that 75% to 80% of organizations are using some form of agile project management process. Although agile project management has been around for many years, the way we adapt it has changed significantly, especially as project portfolio management (PPM) practices have evolved. In today’s businesses, technology plays a crucial role in our success, but technology can also make things more uncertain. This uncertainty has given us the motive to be more flexible and requires a “think on your feet” mentality. For this reason, we've seen a big spike in Agile PPM over the last few years. So how do we continue to deliver stability and efficiency, the result of traditional style PPM, while also giving in to necessary risks that lead to innovation and competitive edge? It’s simple: accept the value in each method, avoid the inevitable pains that may develop with segregation, and opt for a unified agile and traditional PPM model.

IT-Transformation ist ein Konzept, das heute noch stärker als vor 12 Monaten bei Unternehmen angekommen ist. Obwohl es nicht gleichbedeutend mit digitaler Transformation ist, sind die beiden Konzepte grundlegend miteinander verknüpft, da eine effektive digitale Transformation nicht ohne IT-Transformation erfolgen kann. Ein Unternehmen, das seine IT-Infrastruktur transformiert, ist nicht mehr von starren, manuellen, isolierten Legacy-Technologien abhängig. Es verzeichnet eine Steigerung der IT-Betriebsgeschwindigkeit, Effizienz, Skalierbarkeit und Wirtschaftlichkeit: Aufgaben werden automatisiert, Prozesse rationalisiert und Ressourcen freigesetzt. Diese IT-Verbesserungen unterstützen eine umfangreichere digitale Transformation, mit der das Unternehmen in der heutigen digitalen Wirtschaft bestehen kann. Es übertrifft seine Mitbewerber in Sachen Innovation, Vordenken und Geschwindigkeit und wird letztendlich selbst Disruptor statt Leidtragender.

A fundamental people-process-technology transformation enables businesses to remain competitive in today’s innovation economy. Initiatives such as advanced security, fraud detection services, connected consumer Internet of Things (IoT) devices, augmented or virtual reality experience, machine and deep learning, and cognitively enabled applications drive superior business outcomes such as predictive marketing and maintenance. Superior business outcomes require businesses to consider IT a core competency. For IT, an agile, elastic, and scalable IT infrastructure forms the crucial underpinning for a superior service delivery model. The more up to date the infrastructure, the more capable it is of supporting the scale and complexity of a changing application landscape. Current-generation applications must be supplemented and eventually supplanted with next-generation (also known as cloud-native) applications — each with very different infrastructure requirements. Keeping infrastructure up

An IDC study shows Dell EMC VxRail and VxRack hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) Powered by Intel® Xeon® Platinum processor systems deliver the efficiency, performance and savings to increase business agility and enable innovation across your organisation.

Digital transformation has become a business imperative as most aspects of economic engagement have become digital. Around the globe, businesses and government agencies are re-engineering their technology infrastructures to keep pace with customer demands, spur innovation and stay competitive in an ever-evolving digital economy. A recent PwC survey noted that 45 percent of business and IT executives across 51 countries identified growing revenue via digital transformation as a top priority1. Success in this fast-paced digital landscape requires businesses to transform their IT infrastructures to achieve new levels of flexibility and responsiveness. At the same time, business leaders must find a balance between funding core aspects of the business while investing in new business and technology innovations needed to compete in today’s dynamic environment. Hyper-Converged Infrastructure (HCI) systems bundle multiple technology components together into single systems, enabling IT departmen
