The proliferation of BYOD, cloud, SaaS and consumer technologies in the public sector workplace have made the application the disruptive technology that will drive business IT into the coming decades. At the same time, the application delivery chain is becoming more complex to support as applications become more networked, virtualization drives IT infrastructure convergence and abstraction and end users become more mobile. These survey findings highlight the impact of application performance and availability on business end users, and their experiences with and expectations of IT when problems arise. Chief among the findings is that while the application is now the heart of businesses of all sizes and its performance is the lifeblood of success, IT continues to struggle to ensure its performance and availability.

The Expanding Role and Importance of Application Delivery Controllers [Resear...Radware
Â
When it Comes to ADCs, Perception is Not Reality.
The Enterprise Strategy Group and Radware recently conducted a collaborative research project about the current use and future strategies of application delivery controllers (ADCs).
Based on a survey of 243 IT professionals, the research reveals that the role of ADCs has expanded well beyond the historical perception of hardware-based load balancers.
What’s most interesting is that ADCs are becoming a critical component of a defense-in-depth security strategy as enterprises fine-tune security policy and enforcement to align with their sensitive business applications. Organizations are also deploying ADCs as virtual appliances at an increasing rate and taking advantage of ADC functionality from the network through the application layer.
There is a lesson to be learned here: enterprise organizations can get creative with ADC deployments for performance tuning, application-specific services, and critical system protection. Read this research http://www.radware.com/social/esg-adc-research/ to understand the benefits of applying ADCs in this fashion.

Making the Leap: Exploring the Push for Cloud AdoptionGov BizCouncil
Â
For a growing number of public and private sector organizations, cloud is the future — a game-changer for mitigating risk, enhancing effectiveness, and initiating new capabilities. To learn more about ongoing progress and challenges associated with cloud adoption, Government Business Council and Salesforce launched an in-depth research study in May 2017.
The 2022 CIO Survey Summary Report provides insight into the priorities, challenges, and opportunities facing IT leaders in the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries this year. Businesses across the world continue to face talent and labor shortages as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and companies within the tech industry are no different. These shortages, combined with changes to the “normal” workplace environment, have resulted in many companies rethinking and assessing their current and future challenges, opportunities, and priorities within their IT departments. In late 2021, Clarkston Consulting conducted a CIO Market Study, aiming to better understand the current priorities and challenges of upper or C-Suite level IT professionals (CIO/CISO/CTO/VP) at large companies ($350M+ revenue) in the retail, CPG, manufacturing, or life science industries. The four key objectives for the 2022 CIO Survey were to:
Understand the overall relationship between IT and other departments within the company.
Understand current IT budget distribution, technologies/platforms used, and sources for technology-specific learning and development.
Identify attributes that are important in selecting outsourcing or managed services partners, a professional services provider, or a technology platform/vendor.
Determine priorities for the coming year and understand how COVID-19 has changed priorities in recent years.
Market Study Results
Through this CIO Market Study, Clarkston was able to gain valuable insight on the current status and perceptions of IT departments, including budget, ERP usage, investments, outsourced activities, and department health; department expectations, priorities, and plans for the upcoming year; and important attributes in outsourcing and managed services, among other key findings.
The results of this survey provide a detailed view of many of the challenges that IT departments across the consumer products, retail, and life sciences industries continue to face, particularly as they navigate the ongoing effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in the workplace.
With recent dramatic changes in our global workforce, economy, and environment, the need for digital business transformation is now proven to be critical.
These slides—based on the webinar from leading IT research firm EMA and Redwood Software—explain why you should prioritize digital transformation in your organization and support those efforts with workload automation.
The survey found that agile adoption continues to grow, with 94% of organizations now practicing agile. Larger organizations and more distributed teams are embracing agile. The top benefits remain managing changing priorities, increased productivity, and project visibility. While Scrum remains dominant, scaling frameworks like SAFe are growing in popularity. Measurement of agile success focuses on delivery metrics like timelines and quality. Barriers to further adoption include organizational culture challenges and lack of agile experience.
