To view more ways to improve application performance: https://bit.ly/2OZGxgf This white paper presents a six-step Application Performance Application Development and Maintenance (ADM) teams often face performance issues in applications during the testing phase when an application is almost complete which results in delays and business loss. The performance modeling process using software Intelligence to identify and eliminate performance flaws before they reach to production level. By adding dynamic performance testing with automated structural quality analysis, ADM team get early and important information that might be missed with a pure dynamic approach such as inefficient loops or SQL queries and improve the development lifecycle. The combined approach will result in detection of performance issues within the application software. This white paper presents a six-step Performance Modeling Process using automated structural quality analysis to identify these potential performance issues at the earlier stage in the development lifecycle which results in reducing the cost but also intercept business from any kind of downfall. This white paper helps to understand different approaches of structural quality analysis and illustrate the modeling process at work.

Enriching dynamic testing with structural quality analysis gives ADM teams insight into the performance behavior of applications by highlighting critical application performance issues, especially when combined with runtime information. By adding structural quality analysis, ADM teams learn important information about violations of architectural and programming best practices earlier in the development lifecycle than with a pure dynamic testing approach. Structural quality analysis as part of the performance modeling process allows for fact-based insight into application complexity (e.g. multiple layers, dynamics of their interactions, complexity of SQL, etc.) and allows ADM managers to anticipate evolution of the runtime context (e.g. growing volume of data, higher number of transactions, etc.). The combined approach results in better detection of latent application performance issues within software. Resolving application performance issues early in the development cycle, these alerts help to not only save money but also prevent complete business disruptions.

See how to Assess Your Application: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/application-assessment Assessing application development like the rest of the business Well overdue, it is time to measure application development and maintenance the same way as the rest of the business, based on not just how much work someone does, but how well they do the work. As we know, looking to see if the code works as expected is only a single measurement. Knowing how easy it will be to maintain over time, how flexible it is to change as required by business changes, how quickly new team members can understand the code and get working on it and how easily the application can be tested are just some of the things that we need to look at in order to understand the real quality of the work being done by application development teams. When these measurements are combined with ways of counting the productivity (quantity) of development teams, we can get a real understanding of how well the teams are performing and what return is being realized from the investment. These measurements can be assessed both for in-house development organizations as well as the work being done by outsourcers. The applications delivered by IT are a significant differentiator between competitors and therefore it needs to be managed as a core business process. Held up against corporate standards and no matter how or where the development work is done, it must be done well and the resulting applications need to be able to withstand time.

Learn how to accelerate your cloud migration: https://www.castsoftware.com/use-cases/cloud-readiness-and-migration Cloud migration is table stakes for digital transformation initiatives. The driving factors to get to the cloud vary from organization to organization...for some, it's about cost savings and for others, it's about creating smarter apps that support continuous innovation. IaaS – For organizations looking to reduce costs, Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) is a great option. IaaS is sometimes described as "Lift and Shift" – when applications are moved from an existing infrastructure to a cloud infrastructure. This helps save money by reducing the hardware needed to run those applications and providing flexibility to adjust infrastructure requirements on-demand. PaaS – For organizations looking for smarter deployments that facilitate digital transformation, streamline the delivery of new feature and support emerging technologies like IoT and Machine Learning, Platform as a Service (PaaS) is a more suitable option. While a considerable percentage of new application development is done with a cloud-first mentality, most legacy software is not optimized for a cloud environment. So now the question becomes, how do I get my existing application portfolios ready for cloud migration so I can take full advantage of new technologies and processes Software Intelligence-Based Cloud Readiness So you’re ready for PaaS, but before you begin to assess the technical and structural requirements of the migration, you must also determine the business drivers for cloud and the desired outcomes. Setting a cloud migration roadmap that is based on comprehensive Software Intelligence that considers both business drivers and technical features of your applications is a critical first step.

The team then integrated the rules into CAST Highlight and moved the solution itself to Azure. In this report, we describe the process and what we did before, during, and after the hackfest, including the following: • How we produced the rules that assess the ability to migrate to Azure • How we benchmarked the rules • How we migrated the CAST Highlight service to Azure • What the architecture looked like and future plans • Learnings from the process Our first objective was to define rules that assess the ability of applications to migrate to Azure and integrate those rules into CAST Highlight. This was the more-complex task for our team. Our second objective was to move the existing application to Azure, thus profiting from App Service features such as auto-scaling and deployment slots. The existing application is a Java web app running on Apache Tomcat and using PostgreSQL as its database. This is a frequent scenario for web applications running in Azure, so we did not anticipate having any issues with this task.

An IDC study found that global enterprise spending related to digital experiences is set to reach $1.7 trillion in 2019. The problem is that companies are spending heavily on digital transformation, but not getting results: Approximately 59 percent of those polled in the IDC study identified as companies at a digital impasse—stuck in an early stage of maturation and struggling to move forward. Digital transformation frameworks—formalized strategies that define priorities and create clear technology roadmaps —are essential to becoming a digitally mature organization. The 20x20n approach gives organizations an iterative, cohesive base to build their efforts around. It isn’t just a high-level philosophy, it’s a pragmatic, analytics-driven framework.

How shifting focus from time-based to outcome-based contracts improves supplier relationships and drives value. One of the major challenges between a client and application development and maintenance supplier is that their relationship is defined by the production and management of time. Most ADM contracts can be reduced to a simple equation: Price = Rate(s) x Hours. Suppliers remove Cost of Labor from rate to find profit, however; both parties manage time as the key variable. While these contracts are governed by project plans and deliverables, the client and supplier’s primary goal is to manage the consumption of time, not the production of business value. ]]>

Making Outcomes-Based Contracting Work With Facts Introduction by Amit Anand, Robert Asen & Vijay Anand of Cognizant Using metrics to develop effective results-based contracts Managing outcome based application contracts requires a combination of scope management, pricing, and, above all, quality. As suppliers and clients evolve the relationship, the need for clear facts dominates conversations. The premise of outcomes-based contracting is that hours (and indeed rate) are inputs to the ADM process (not outputs), and that structures that measure programming results are now both possible and achievable. Outcomes-based structures bring the original intent of software to the forefront—creating successful results. While many companies have shifted from input-based to output-based contracting, forward-thinking IT leaders are also taking steps to define a sustainable outcomes-based relationship with their ADM suppliers. Outcomes-based contracts focus on how the delivered product adds value, while inputand output-based contracts focus on the resources and the activities needed to deliver the outcome, respectively. ]]>

Vendor management leaders have gotten more sophisticated than first generation sourcing professionals, but they now face challenges beyond cost optimization and simple performance monitoring. These disruptive forces are driving a need for vendor management leaders to advance the discipline to control risk and achieve business outcomes. Thank you for your interest in ISG’s webinar on "Managing Service Providers for Today's Digital Business." 
Bob Krohn, a partner at ISG, discussed how an outcomes-based approach and Business Processes as a Service (BPaaS) are increasingly being studied and adopted by businesses as a way to drive greater effectiveness and quality at their companies. Krohn said that companies wanting to quantitatively measure the effectiveness of their SLAs have been hindered by their inability to measure performance across multiple service providers and systems. However, advances in software analytics now make it possible for sourcing organizations to structure and measure complex SLAs so that they more closely align with business objectives. This enables them to operate with a flexibility that meets their constantly evolving requirements.
