This in turn enabled the evolution of Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) to allow the rapid delivery of changes and new capabilities in small increments.Īll of these changes in how IT works have been enabled by growing connectivity and have reinforced the consequent atomization of software to allow more rapid change. Meanwhile, the emergence of public hyperscale cloud computing prompted the development of more automated ways of deploying software. Better connectivity allowed software engineers to work in agile DevOps teams, where the people who write the software work side-by-side - often virtually - with those who put it into operation. Much of our most important infrastructure is now built on open source software, leveraging the pooled knowledge and experience of the community to continue to evolve and enhance it. The early days of Internet connectivity made it possible for techologists to co-operate globally on software design, leading to the growth of open source software. Just as important, this has also enabled new ways of working for those who design and operate IT. Putting computing on the open network of the Internet - moving it from islands of disconnected isolation into a global fabric of near-ubiquitous connectivity - has forced it to adopt a more networked, atomic architecture, which we'll explore in detail below. Digital connection changes everything - especially IT In this chapter, we map these changes and their implications for enterprise IT.
So too has the way that the IT function operates and engages with others across an organization. Digital technology has evolved enormously since the advent of the Internet and the emergence of cloud computing, and is continuing to evolve rapidly. Therefore the Information Technology (IT) infrastructure an organization adopts is crucial to its ability to thrive in this new digitally connected era. Although Frictionless Enterprise is about much more than technology, it is fundamentally shaped by technology.
