In my first blog on GWC I would like to present a business case that might be interesting for those working with IBM middleware in IT operations and development. BTW, this case is written by Wilco Koorn.
Trends like increased automation of business functions, introduction of a service-oriented architecture paradigm, ever more heterogeneous middleware environments and the emerging use of virtualization in datacenters have increased pressure on both Development and Operations. Moreover, business simply demands more agility from the IT organization. Development’s response to this demand is to adopt Agile methodologies, allowing them to provide more Studies indicate that especially the Eliminating hand-overs can be achieved by adopting a "self service" deployment model in the Development department. A necessary prerequisite for introducing self-service deployments is to first automate the entire deployment process. A case study made by airline company KLM/AirFrance proves the value of automating the deployment process and introducing self-service deployments. Without hiring additional Operations staff, KLM/AirFrance was able to cope with a 500% increase in the number of deployments per month. Thanks to deployment automation and self-service deployments, they now save $1 million annually in their entire software development and delivery chain.
