Technical leaders around the world are concerned about the effect this has on IT performance and ultimately, their business. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CIO responses captured in the 2019 research, <em>Top Challenges for CIOs in a Software-Driven, Hybrid, Multi-Cloud World<\/em>, indicate that lost revenue (49%) and reputational damage (52%) are among the biggest concerns as businesses transform into software businesses and move to the cloud. And as CIOs struggle to prevent these concerns from becoming reality, IT teams now spend 33% of their time dealing with digital performance problems, costing businesses an average of US$3.3 million annually, compared to US$2.5 million in 2018; an increase of 34%. To combat this, 88% of CIOs say AI will be critical to IT\u2019s ability to master increasing complexity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Findings of the 2019\nglobal report include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Software is transforming every business&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Every company in every industry is transforming into a software business. The way enterprises interact with customers, assure quality experiences and optimise revenues is driven by applications and the hybrid, multi-cloud environments underpinning them. Success or failure comes down to the software supporting these efforts. The pressure of this &#8216;run-the-business&#8217; software performing properly has significant ramifications for IT professionals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>44% of CIOs fear there could be a threat to the existence of their business if they are unable to manage IT performance<\/li><li>As complexity continues to grow, 74% of CIOs say it could soon become extremely difficult to manage performance efficiently<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enterprise &#8216;cloud-first&#8217; strategies increase complexity <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Underpinning this software revolution is the enterprise cloud, allowing companies to innovate faster and better meet the needs of customers. The enterprise cloud is dynamic, hybrid, multi-cloud and web-scale, containing hundreds of technologies, millions of lines of code and billions of dependencies. However, this transformation isn\u2019t simply about lifting and shifting apps to the cloud, it\u2019s a fundamental shift in how applications are built, deployed and operated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The majority of CIOs are already using or are planning to deploy microservices (88%), containers (86%), serverless computing (85%), PaaS (89%), SaaS (94%), IaaS (91%) and private cloud (95%) in the      next 12 months<\/li><li>The average mobile or web application transaction crosses 37 different technology systems or components. This brings an      inherent increase in IT complexity, making it harder for organisations to manage performance<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The age of the\ncustomer increases pressure to deliver great experiences <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are squarely in the age of the customer, where high-quality service is paramount due to the ease with which customers will try competitive offerings and share their experiences instantly via social media.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research highlights\nthe extent to which businesses are struggling to combat IT complexity that\nthreatens the customer experience, with CIOs revealing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>On average, organisations have suffered six IT outages where user experiences, business revenues or operations were impacted in the      last 12 months<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>IT teams are feeling the strain<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Digital Transformation, migration to the enterprise cloud and increasing customer demands are collectively putting pressure on IT teams who continue to feel the strain, especially as it relates to performance. Revealing the extent of this dilemma, key findings of the research also show that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>More&nbsp;than three quarters of CIOs (76%) say they don\u2019t have      complete visibility into application performance in cloud-native      architectures<\/li><li>78% of CIOs are frustrated that so much time is spent setting up monitoring for different cloud environments when deploying new services<\/li><li>IT teams now spend around 33% of their time tackling performance      problems<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CIOs look to AI\nfor the answer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring the potential antidote to these challenges, the research further reveals that 88% of CIOs say they believe AI will be critical to IT\u2019s ability to master increasing complexity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs complexity grows beyond IT teams\u2019 capabilities, the economics of throwing more manpower at the problem no longer works,\u201d said Bernd Greifeneder, Founder and CTO, Dynatrace. \u201cOrganisations need a radically different AI approach. That\u2019s why we reinvented from the ground up, creating an all-in-one platform with a deterministic AI at the core, which provides true causation, not just correlation. And unlike Machine Learning (ML) approaches, Dynatrace does not require a lengthy learning period.&nbsp; The Dynatrace Software Intelligence Platform automatically discovers and captures high fidelity data from applications, containers, services, processes and infrastructure. It then automatically maps the billions of dependencies and interconnections in these complex environments. Its AI engine, Davis, analyses this data and its dependencies in real-time to instantly provide precise answers \u2013 not just more data on glass. It\u2019s this level of automation and intelligence that overcomes the challenges presented by the enterprise cloud and enables teams to develop better software faster, automate operations and deliver better business results.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Software intelligence company, Dynatrace, has announced the findings of an independent global survey of 800 CIOs, which reveals that Digital Transformation, migration to the enterprise cloud and increasing customer demands are creating a surge in IT complexity and the associated costs of managing it.
