Companies Need IT Automation To Become Agile Digital Businesses
Companies need a faster way to initiate, operationalize, and manage the applications, systems, and technologies they rely on for business operations, particularly as new technologies emerge.
Companies today are are challenged by:
- Threats of disruption to markets and business models;
- The ability of their organizations to adapt quickly when needed; and
- Costs, resources, and time required to identify and deploy digital solutions to support transformed operations.
Executives’ Concerns Show Why IT Obstacles Need To Be Eliminated
Legacy IT is too complex to easily adapt to new business demands, digital or otherwise, or support operational agility and flexibility companies need. IT is an impediment to digital business transformations. Executives regularly face decisions about how to adapt to changing market conditions. Enhancing success rates and competitive positions in the market – and preparing for the threat of new entrants and competitors using technologies that disrupt their ability to do so – are concerns for most top executives.

The reality of digital transformation: “Digital’s Biggest Obstacle: Legacy IT” (Forbes)
Executive concerns vary but all show a need for IT to become responsive and agile.
A major concern for CEOs and CFOs is the risk of a competitor emerging with a technology-driven product or service that disrupts the market and threatens the company. There are two critical aspects behind this challenge:
- First is the recognition that new, disruptive business models are a virtual certainty, which drives the need to reinvent the business before disruption happens.
- Second is a desire to enhance the ability of their organization to react quickly or respond effectively when a market or competitive disruption occurs.
CEOs and CFOs need the ability to reinvent how their company operates and apply technology to create their own innovations. This requires building an organizational ability to experiment and adapt quickly to new ways of operating.

COOs, EVPs, and SVPs recognize that their component operations are the ones that must adapt to new business imperatives. Changing daily operations inevitably becomes difficult and costly when the company must revise or replace legacy systems. Surveys show business executives share a growing lack of confidence in IT organizations to lead or support a business transformation or, for that matter, to transform IT itself.
COOs, EVPs, and SVPs need the ability to readily transform business operations to increase their efficiency and productivity using technology. This requires the ability to redesign business processes rapidly and adapt new ways of operating easily.

CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs are responsible for the technologies, applications, and data infrastructure that support the business and the way it works. Their main concern is how to respond to the demands for changes in company operations at the speed required, particularly when new technologies require new technical skills. Such changes can be tough to integrate with legacy systems and applications, and may not eliminate existing problems arising from use of inconsistent data and rules.
In order to move at the speed demanded by business executives, CIOs, CTOs, and CDOs need to replace legacy IT's labor-intensive, time-consuming, and expensive approach to supporting the business. This requires a complete and radical transformation of the way IT develops business systems and applications.
