Speed of development is critical for us. The fact that we
don't have to take applications changes to an IT department

themselves – is critical to maintaining our ability to deliver
and deploy products quickly for customers.

manage the applications themselves. We generally have to help them to
do the first version of the application. But then they take ownership of it.

enterprise-wide lens to help ensure critical domains such as digital,
analytics and cloud aren’t spurring redundant, conflicting or
compromised investments within departmental or functional silos.”
