Why IT departments are at a crisis point
IT departments are at a crisis point when it comes to digital transformation and application development, reveals OutSystems’ fifth annual research report on the state of application development and the challenges faced by application development and delivery teams.
“The high failure rate of digital transformation projects, increasing project backlogs, and the scarcity of developer talent are critical concerns,” said Steve Rotter, CMO at OutSystems.
The new research report provides in-depth insights from IT managers, enterprise architects, and developers addressing a wide range of issues. Digital transformation dominates business strategy today, which is why web and mobile development demand is booming. Moreover, speed and agility are more important than ever before.
“In a world that is changing at breakneck speed, it is crucial to identify and respond to digital innovation opportunities more quickly than your competitors. To get to market first, you need the courage for rapid experimentation. It is these dynamics that place low-code platforms like OutSystems at the top of the CIO’s agenda in 2018,” explains Rotter.
This OutSystems report explores the priorities and challenges of application development and delivery and the strategies that IT teams are using to try and speed up delivery.
