CSC CTO Dan Hushon Expects “DevSecOps” to Drive
the Digital Imperative
CSC (NYSE: CSC) today released its top enterprise IT trends that
will shape business in 2017. Dan Hushon, CSC’s chief technology
officer, has identified six trends around the philosophy of
“DevSecOps” that company leaders need to be thinking about to drive
digital transformation.
Hushon’s predictions lay out the technologies and shifts in
areas related to development, security and operations (DevSecOps)
that together will reshape how businesses operate, alter
organizational structures and revolutionize customer
interactions.
“A fully digital enterprise is the imperative, and more and more
businesses are marching forward toward their digital futures,”
Hushon said. “As a result of this, entirely new business models
will be built on a foundation of information-driven experiences and
analytic innovations, all built on public clouds. In rethinking IT
as a core part of the business, organizations across all markets
must find the sweet spot of DevSecOps. This refers to a much higher
level of engagement between executive management and technologists,
along with the requirement to secure information.”
Key technologies — augmented and virtual reality, the internet
of things (IoT), artificial intelligence and cloud computing — are
among the six key trends that will help corporate leaders and CIOs
devise winning strategies for 2017.
1) Reconfiguring the Enterprise for the 21st Century
Outside-in strategies continue to reshape the structure of an
enterprise and how it operates in today’s changing market.
Businesses have to rethink and reinvent new models and processes
for agility. This rethinking will affect overall organizational
structures, leadership cultures, talent selection, team style and
partner ecosystems. Investments will need to be made in employee
toolboxes that will allow for rapid deployment of processes and
constant improvement.
2) The Rise of the Intelligent Machines
Machines are beginning to outthink their human counterparts and
are able to perform much more complex computations and much broader
information sets – complete with correlations and causality – to
predict the best possible outcome. With the output of this high
volume, high velocity data, organizations will need to build and
eventually merge it into data ecosystems. The deeper the data
ecosystems, the less sense it will make to transport the data back
into the enterprise. This provides for the emergence of cloud-based
machine learning on artificial intelligence platforms. It also
means that executives must become deeply, digitally savvy
themselves and trained to weed out any digital biases (as was seen
with the recent U.S. presidential election). The business and
productivity implications of bringing information to the forefront
of every employee’s job will drive this adoption.
3) Maturing of IoT and the Industrial Internet
There is currently broad-based adoption of IoT with pent-up
demand for a platform that simplifies enterprise implementation in
order to drive a return on investment. Sensors will be the key to
this requirement and will provide a stream of data on the front
end. With the increase in sensors on the network and the emergence
of exponentially more bandwidth with 5G networking, productivity
will explode such as it did in the 1990s when desktop computers
entered the workplace. A new renaissance of learning will take
shape to create much more efficient machines.
4) Emergence of the Sinosphere as an Innovation
Leader
The continued rise of the Sinosphere – the East Asian cultural
sphere that includes Vietnam, Japan and South Korea – which has
been historically influenced by China, is worth watching. This
trend is leading to the emergence of the Digital Silk Road, which
is beginning to rival Silicon Valley as a center of innovation. The
flow of culture, ideas and goods from the East to the West is
poised to create a valuable, leap-frog competition between
innovators in California and Asia. Each will build off the other to
create even more productivity in the marketplace. All eyes are on
the East, where new ideas are formulating and technological
advances are being developed by a large, unique and educated
culture.
5) Increased Adoption and Simplification of Cloud
Platforms
CIOs are starting to implement an 80/20 plan, placing 80 percent
of their workloads in the public cloud by 2020. As companies
worldwide increase adoption, the current leaders in the public
cloud will continue to outpace the rest of the competition. The
leaders will begin to compete on function and capability, creating
a new style of hybridization or cloud diversity. The cloud
diversity will allow companies to better meet regulatory and
security requirements. A more real-time platform will also emerge
as information moves directly from hand to code through a new class
of middleware. The reduced complexity will free customers to build
new platform business services in search of new organic sources of
revenue that were not possible in the pre-cloud era, and achieve
the potential that PaaS, IoT and applications platforms
promise.
6) Next Wave of Digital Interface: Virtual and Augmented
Reality
After the mobile experience, the next natural step is augmented
reality and virtual experience. Companies are aggressively
investing in use cases to firm up adoption strategies, evaluate
data privacy and cybersecurity, restructure business processes,
step-up legacy modernization and seamlessly incorporate cultural
nuances of the organization. Augmented and virtual reality are
enabled by the combination of advanced computer-generated graphics,
machine learning, high performance computing, data collection at
the edge and analytics. Augmented reality will be behind IoT
devices guiding employees and consumers to interact with their
environment in new, more productive ways that are much richer than
provided by mobile devices, especially in the areas of service and
fulfillment.
