In an innovation-powered economy, ideas need to travel at the speed of thought. Yet even as our ability to communicate across companies and time zones grows rapidly, people remain frustrated by downtime and unanticipated delays across the increasingly complex grid of cloud-based infrastructure, data networks, storage systems, and servers that power our work.

Cloud has become a crucial foundation for digital transformation (DX) initiatives and is shaping the IT strategy of enterprises today. Companies are extending their IT infrastructure into the cloud for running business-critical applications, developing new applications, and delivering new cloud-based services. Applications are the lifeblood of modern enterprises. They are the foundation on which businesses maintain their existing revenue streams while examining ways to create new ones. A sound application strategy is a must for frms to be successful in expanding their competitive differentiation in the digital economy. Operating systems (OSs) provide a common foundational layer that enables IT to run current and new generations of applications in traditional IT environments, on its own private cloud, and in public clouds and utilize a variety of computing options such as bare metal, virtualization, and containerization. The increased reliance of IT on the cloud has accelerated the

To meet the growing challenges of a competitive world economy, a digital transformation is taking place in the enterprise. Organizations realize that to be competitive they need to be more agile. They need to reach their customers wherever they are, and they need to be able to scale their applications to meet customer demands. To meet these challenges, organizations are deploying new microservice applications that are changing the application delivery environment. These applications are agile, configured to enable new features to be added without disrupting applications in production, and designed to automatically instantiate instances in response to increasing user demand. In short, microservices are drastically changing the way that applications are deployed and managed. This introduces a high level of complexity to network infrastructures because traditional applications are not going away. Applications will continue to be designed for both microservices and traditional 3-tier imple

Improving customer service is among the top priorities for most businesses, and for good reason. Studies show that a 5% increase in customer loyalty can increase pro?ts by up to 95%. Also, acquiring a new customer is anywhere from ?ve to 25 times more expensive than retaining an existing one.

The shift from a product- to a service-driven economy—mixed with an uncertain economic climate—has given finance teams the opportunity to become strategic business partners capable of shaping and guiding organisational decision-making. This partnership is only possible by creating a deeper understanding of the contextual factors that influence revenue and profit and loss, and making this analytical data available to the right stakeholders when they need it. That requires a fundamental change in the way finance teams think about technology.

GDPR compliance can be achieved through a combination of people, processes and technology. This document has described solutions that can help organizations with their GDPR journey. But you can extend that protection and strengthen security controls even further via strong and risk authentication or workload automation for the processing automation of personal data helping you comply with GDPR as well as similar mandates. Regulations tend to set the minimum standards to be required, but in the application economy, open enterprises must ensure due diligence to protect one of the most important and critical assets: private customer information.

Growing your enterprise is an ongoing priority. And, as the application economy continues to expand, it’s likely that you’re looking at digital business initiatives to fuel a significant portion of that growth. Among the most promising objectives of such a strategy are: • Providing superior digital experiences for consumers though mobile • Expanding markets and revenue streams through multiple channels • Connecting employees and partners to enterprise data anywhere, anytime • Launching innovative new services for the Internet of Things (IoT) Successfully executing a digital strategy requires the ability to launch new apps and coordinate your digital presence with partners. Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) create the connectivity required to share enterprise data and digital content with those apps and partners over the Internet. APIs are a critical component of digital business—empowering developers to build apps across any channel and enabling partners to incorporate your dat

In the digital economy, application programming interfaces (APIs) are essential for executing ideas quickly and seizing new business opportunities. They are the building blocks of digital transformation, enabling organizations to deliver exceptional customer experiences, create new revenue streams and connect employees, partners, apps and devices to data—anytime, anywhere. APIs are not necessarily a new technology, but in today’s digital world, they have risen in prominence and become important to every facet of the enterprise. This in turn has increased the demand for effective API management. But what does an effective solution look like? The API Management Playbook will help you understand: • Why digital transformation is crucial in the application economy • How APIs are the building blocks of digital transformation • Which key stakeholders in your organization are impacted by APIs • What the API lifecycle is and how it relates to API management • Thirteen key “plays” that API manag

In today’s application economy, interaction between a business and its customers, partners and employees is increasingly through apps. And omni-channel access to these applications—from anywhere at any time—is dependent on APIs. These APIs provide an interface for developers to code against, and must be robust enough to support ever-growing demand. As a result, APIs are perhaps the most critical technology in digital business design today. APIs sit between your application clients —apps, websites and devices—and application backends. By leveraging APIs, you can securely stretch the boundaries of your enterprise by tapping into a broad array of digital businesses, digital customers and digital devices. But just as important as the API, is the application backend itself. Behind the API, the data access layer and application logic layer are doing the heavy lifting—implementing business rules, maintaining data consistency and managing interactions with various data sources.
