CISCO APPDYNAMICS NEW RESEARCH EXPLORES DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION RAPID ACCELERATION IMPACT

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 24 (Bernama) -- AppDynamics, a part of Cisco, has released Agents of Transformation 2021:The Rise of Full-Stack Observability, the latest edition of its global research study.

The study explores the impact of the rapid acceleration of digital transformation created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the repercussions for global technologists.

According to a statement, the findings reveal a dramatic increase in IT complexity caused by the need for urgent innovation - and the resulting technology sprawl.

The research also validates a pressing need for full-stack observability with added business context to help technologists manage the IT estate, cut through the data 'noise' and observe what matters most to their business.

The shift to digital-first business models to weather the storm and minimise the commercial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, has placed technologists at the forefront of their organisations’ response.

According to the research, this forced a 3X acceleration of digital transformation projects. Unsurprisingly, technologists found themselves under considerable strain, with 89 per cent reportedly feeling under immense pressure at work and 84 per cent admitting to having difficulty switching off.

The new research goes on to highlight that rapid digital transformation has added staggering technical complexity throughout IT departments, with technologists listing the factors, including a new set of priorities and challenges; technology sprawl and a patchwork of legacy and cloud technologies; and, acceleration to cloud computing as key contributors.

This research comprises interviews with 1,050 IT professionals in organisations, which were conducted in 11 markets. Respondents worked across a range of industries, including IT, financial services, retail and public sector.
