4 Industry Highlights: Disruptive Trends Driving OSS Adoption Diverse deployment demands for mobile, cloud, embedded drive corporate need for consistent standards, business dynamism is enabled by OSS leverage Organizations re-invest, seeking to do more with fewer resources with financial and staffing constraints; leveraging efficient approaches to restore and sustain high performing, timely, business-critical software benefits from OSS potentially. Complex sourcing/off-shoring plus use of open source need strong teaming, effective code management, testing, and metrics enabled by automation & governance; Services driven environment (SaaS/cloud, Devops emergence) requires management. Global economic competition and local compliance across geographies demand quality, change and portfolio management, adaptability and rigor, OSS standards. Flexible development paradigm with services creation increasingly drive technology and business collaboration strong agile emergence also drives & benefits from OSS Emerging security issues (as driver) and virtualization/cloud (as enabling technology) for OSS adoption; ad hoc approaches unsustainable external code use necessitate visibility End-user experience and business impact challenges of rich Internet, mobile, embedded, with social media collaboration/community and OSS opportunities 2012 IDC Nov-12 4

5 Establishing OSS Management Evolving Strategy Amid Challenges Companies must oversee software development yet have little visibility into origin & policy. Open source software (OSS) provides opportunities for efficient code creation, yet strategies to manage open source remain woefully inadequate OSS makes up 30% or more of code at major G2000 organizations and is increasingly looked to as a resource Complex sourcing and geographically dispersed teams drive the need to collaborate well & managed dispersed projects These disparate sources of software tend to be fractured organizationally and geographically. Islands of desktop, mobile, cloud and other platforms aggravate this coordination problem IDC Nov-12 5

6 Open Source Software Drives Innovation Prediction and Evidence Prediction: Open Source Software will move beyond mainstream to drive software innovation in key areas for 2012/14 with evolving use for applications and emerging platforms in new vertical areas (e.g., automotive, financial) while augmenting development across cloud, mobile, Big Data Evidence Corporate sanctioned adoption brings increasing leverage due to competitive use and innovation, low/"no" cost points, strengthened capability and grass roots developer adoption OSS in 2012 drives innovation for vertical platform and app evolution (e.g., automotive/genivi), also mobile, cloud, Big Data Resource and market volatility will further evolve enterprise acceptance 6 and OSS leverage in embedded environments Complex sourcing pushes urgent, fresh demand for OSS management, governance and automation as business critical software increasingly relies on OSS in 2012/ IDC Source:/Notes: Nov-12

7 Open Source Software Drives Innovation Impact and Strategy Impact: As open source drives new and emerging areas with combined projects and standards (like automotive Infotainment platforms and apps), engagement and participation become mandatory for business success Developers, ISVs, ALM, SIs & OSS providers have new opportunities End-user organizations will face new OSS app lifecycle, compliance pressures, challenges as well as excellent OSS leverage for innovation Strategy: Executives, managers, and development teams must drive coordination and decision making in this complex, dynamic environment. ALM tools, mobile, Big Data, cloud providers and vertical manufacturers are and will leverage OSS capabilities and components 2012/14+ ALM governance and management become key as business innovation relies increasingly on OSS; quality, change management focus needed End-users should establish and vigorously enforce updated OSS policies Established commercial tools vendors should make OSS governance, management and/or partner support available ASAP 2012 IDC Source:/Notes: Nov-12

8 Quality Gap : High Cost of Failure Poor Quality = Increased Business Risk ($$$$$) Lost Revenue Lost Customers Increased Costs Damaged Brand Lost Productivity Lower Profits 2012 IDC Nov-12 8

9 Goals of Effective IT/Business Alignment Innovation: Maximize Upside Through Technology- Enabled Business Processes New Business Value Compliance: Minimize Downside Through Risk Management Reduced Exposure 2012 IDC Nov-12 9

10 Complexity, Cost & Agility Drive Adoption QC1. MEAN SUMMARY TABLE How important to your organization are the following factors as drivers in the adoption of software quality automation. Business consequences of poor quality code design (impact of production problems) 2.1 Increased costs due to constant application failures 2.2 Improvement in software development decision and planning process Lowering of maintenance and performance costs and resource impact (detection and MTTR) Internal and external customer satisfaction 2.0 Fit to existing systems and standards 2.3 Compliance initiatives (SOX, JSOX, Basel II) 2.5 Offshoring/Outsourcing oversight and management 2.9 Resource constraints (efficiency, productivity improvement and resource reallocation to innovation) 2.3 Security concerns 2.0 Business agility/speed of competitive response/compressed delivery cycle 2.2 Architectural complexity and increased resulting risk 2.3 N = 200 Source: Custom Quality Survey, IDC, 1H IDC Nov-12 10

11 Resource Constraints in the Midst of Complexity Create Challenges QC3. Which of the following is the most significant challenge to the quality of your organization s software development today? Complexity 18.5% Outsourcing 5.5% Virtualization management 8.0% Multi-threaded software 6.5% Internal Staffing/Resources 8.5% Financial resources/budget 19.0% Time to implement/pace of change Project prioritization 12.0% 11.5% Poor architecture 2.0% None - No hurdle 8.5% Other (Please specify) 0.0% N = 200 Source: Custom Quality Survey, IDC, 1H IDC 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% Nov-12 11

12 Coordinating across the Life-Cycle Coordinating requirements, testing, and operational performance is key across core emerging software sources Slow response times for key business areas are problematic Organizations should target quality life-cycle approaches through requirements, unit test, system integration and predeployment and performance testing and change management across the supply chain As business requirements change, a cogent supply chain lifecycle approach enables adaptive, flexible business responses Quality necessitates effective code and OSS management and visible, coherent software supply chain (write and/or acquire; find, reuse) and policy management 2012 IDC Nov-12 12

13 App Deployment & Support: Old View DEV Define SLAs, Provision Test/ Tune Monitor Support Issues Result: Little input into specifications or development Little leverage between development/ops of testing/monitoring investments Testing/tuning LATE in the cycle! 2012 IDC Nov-12 13

14 Closing the Loop: Leverage Skills & Tools for Agile, Iterative Approach Shared goals Shared metrics Share tests, tools and skills Shared systems Shared software OSS usage Visibility key Define Support Deploy & Monitor Design Develop Test & Tune 2012 IDC Nov-12 14

15 IDC Calls to Action The challenges of increased complexity and high-end development across diverse platforms increase code problems, increase costs and drive debilitating consequences resulting from defects pre- and post-deployment Companies must become better educated about the business consequences and labor costs of poor software design since optimism mask the need for change Organizations should evaluate OSS automation to supplement traditional development along with appropriate process and organizational approaches Across industries, poorly managed and problematic software leads to brand perception impact above and beyond individual problems demand response 2012 IDC Nov-12 15

16 IT and Business Challenges: Silos, Gaps Today s applications are high-visibility, and carry a high cost-offailure -- customer self-serve, supplier/channel; key internal business applications Network effect failure in one leads to other failures The need for OSS as part of quality life-cycle is key since G2000 organizations are split across groups: Business/users stakeholders Architects, Designers and Developers QA professionals Operational staff Must extend the Quality life-cycle across geographies, life cycle phases and groups 2012 IDC Nov-12 16

17 Summary Coordinate an OSS approach that targets pragmatic strategies to leverage standards and components to obtain benefits Evaluate your organization s current OSS policies for OSS application portfolio review, effective processes and automated tools adoption Schisms between business, architects, development, security and operations must be addressed -- IT groups and the business must build a common approach, common metrics, and common tools and practices that include OSS Drive towards an effective OSS strategy to help cut costs, increase efficiency and business agility, to sustain brand, address competitive challenges 2012 IDC Nov-12 17
