2. How well are you serving your customers and
employees? People today have little patience for
apps that aren’t performing as expected.
To truly succeed, you need to continuously deliver
and update resilient apps in time to meet the needs
of your customers and users. And, if your app
becomes a hit, it needs to scale flawlessly.
Here are four secrets to delivering on the promise
of your apps:

3. 1. Remember, performance
trumps curb appeal.
A great-looking app may attract customers, but it’s
the app’s day-to-day performance that determines
long-term value.
Achieving this means looking at performance
holistically – of both the app and your infrastructure.

4. When your infrastructure performs,
your apps perform.
68% of users say they will abandon an app if it
doesn’t load in 6 seconds or less.
Gaining insight into exactly how your systems are
running—alerted to problems so you can quickly
resolve them—helps you deliver a better customer
experience.

5. 2. Full-throttle development or
bust.
The window for getting something to market is now
measured in weeks, or even days. Speed of
deployment is everything.
You must be able to roll out robust, resilient apps
continuously, within the timelines customers expect.
And you can’t afford to let any operational
constraints and dependencies stall development
cycles.

6. Early testing is essential for fast-
cycle development.
Testing earlier in the development cycle is crucial for
rapid delivery of new apps. High application quality
depends on managing the growing complexities and
interdependencies among systems and services. The
app is just the tip of a very large iceberg.

7. 3. Analyzing your performance can
predict and prevent business
disruptions.
What’s worse—lost revenue or reduced
productivity? If you’re experiencing failed
transactions, you’re suffering from both.
Applying workload analytics across the enterprise
can help you anticipate the performance of business
services, so you can provide high availability for all
your critical apps.

8. Workload automation and predictive
analytics keep things running
smoothly.
With a unified view of your workload, you can easily
access both application and operational data.
Predictive analytics can be used to support dynamic
workload provisioning, optimization and
management for responsive business services.

9. 4. Amplify productivity through
self-service.
IT service management isn’t what it used to be. Your
team was adept at providing ready answers to users
in a highly controlled environment. But now they
have to understand the ins and outs of dozens—or
even hundreds—of unique applications that they
might have only first heard of weeks ago.

10. You need to drive both productivity
and user engagement.
Empowering your business users to be more
productive is possible when your approach to IT
service management fosters self-sufficiency. But is
there really a simple way for your users to engage
with IT—and remain satisfied—throughout the entire
service delivery and restoration process?
