The Agile Development Model Built on Software Defined Networking

LONDON - Dec. 8, 2016 - PRLog -- In developing solutions for digital transformation, Computacenter focuses on the importance of a software defined network, which in practice means the easy adoption of agile networks across organisations. Agile development is a key aspect in maintaining a network that is adaptable to the digital changes taking place within the business. It is through the right agile development strategy, as well as the advancement of an agile development team, that businesses can stay ahead of global trends of digitisation. In a world of rapidly expanding and shifting digital technology, the answer to the question "What is agile development?" is that it is the means by which businesses and organisations can keep up with the warp-speed changes occurring all around and within them. An agile development model is the answer to the future.

Practice Leader at Computacenter, Colin Williams explains that in order to successfully contribute to an accelerated speed of development and time to market, as well as potentially reduced development costs, the agile development model must include all technological arenas subject to digital transformation. The most notable arenas, according to Colin, are networking and security. Thus, the most critical element in determining success is network readiness, and this must be accounted for as application development teams, IT operations functions, and business teams come together in preparation for shifting to an agile framework. Thus, the network must be able to facilitate and accelerate the agile journey.

What this comes down to is software defined networking, which Colin says should necessarily be the focus of the incorporation of an agile development model. Computacenter takes on the challenge with their individual-focused digitisation approach called Digital Me, which is based on networking that is optimised by the use of software, increasing programmability and automation. Personalisation is the result of programmability, because it enables the user to customise their virtual desktop to fit their work needs, and automation leads to consistency and efficiency. These points are the cornerstones of the Digital Me strategy and extend their reach through the organisation as digitisation occurs.
