SÃO PAULO, Dec. 19, 2019
/PRNewswire/ -- Enterprises in Brazil are seeking application developers that
use machine learning and other automation tools to identify and
predict problems in application development, according to a new
report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq:
III), a leading global technology research and advisory firm.
The 2019 ISG Provider Lens™ Next-Gen Application
Development & Maintenance (ADM) Services Report for
Brazil finds enterprises looking
for providers that use automation to eliminate the root causes of
their most problematic applications through bug fixes,
configuration and integration with operation management tools for
dynamic resource allocation.
"With automation leading to a reduction in the number of
incidents, providers can commit to making continuous quality
improvements and cost reductions, freeing resources for new
developments," said Jan Erik Aase,
director and global leader, ISG Provider Lens
Research.
The report also sees agile application development reaching a
market maturity stage in Brazil.
Service providers can no longer be distinguished by their agile
expertise, but instead, they need to deliver agile at scale.
Achieving such large-scale delivery is a challenge for many ADM
providers.
Many enterprises in Brazil are
focusing on agile development methods for new projects and
application modernization for legacy applications, the report says.
As the public cloud market gains traction, enterprises want to
benefit from serverless and low-code or no-code development, along
with code libraries and microservices, with these newer practices
pushing for the transformation of legacy applications.
Meanwhile, attracting and retaining agile-trained talent is a
rising concern in Brazil, the
report says. Providers and enterprises must maintain a healthy,
motivational and friendly company culture to retain talent.
In addition, the report sees a strong push in Brazil for testing automation to enable
continuous integration and DevOps. Many ADM providers are
delivering security testing, code quality assurance and container
architectures as part of their continuous testing services.
The testing of artificial intelligence systems is an emerging
interest in Brazil. Providers are
working on ways to check if an AI-powered system is responding as
expected. However, human expertise is required to create the
testing methods.
The report also sees growth in the DevOps services market, even
with "fuzzy" definitions of the boundaries of the DevOps
methodology. The market push for DevOps comes from a growing demand
for business agility, with enterprises in Brazil observing that the practice enables
faster code deployment into production. The number of available
DevOps tools is rising, with robust proprietary and expensive
tools being replaced by open source.
The 2019 ISG Provider Lens™ Next-Gen Application
Development & Maintenance (ADM) Services Report for
Brazil evaluates the capabilities
of 31 providers across four quadrants: Next-Gen ADM, Agile
Development, Continuous Testing and DevOps Consulting.
The report names Accenture, Capgemini, Cognizant, everis, IBM
and Wipro as leaders in three quadrants. CI&T, DXC Technology,
Inmetrics, Stefanini, TCS and Tech Mahindra are named leaders in
one.
A customized version of the report is available from Prime
Control, named a "contender" in the Brazilian market for continuous
testing services.
