FRANKFURT, Germany,
Jan. 7, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --
Enterprises in Germany are looking
for next-generation application developers to help them automate
their software development processes and implement agile
development practices, according to a new report published today by
Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a leading global
technology research and advisory firm.
The 2019-2020 ISG Provider Lens™ Next-Gen Application
Development & Maintenance (ADM) Services Report for
Germany finds German companies
interested in using artificial intelligence and machine learning to
automate their ADM processes. Many large ADM providers in
Germany are embracing the
automation trend, while smaller providers are struggling to catch
up.
The report also finds German enterprises focusing on digital
transformation and on ways to measure its direct impact on business
outcomes. ADM contracting structures are shifting from traditional
models to a more outcome-based approach.
Many German enterprises also are prioritizing agile development
methods for new development and for application modernization, the
report says. As the public cloud market gains traction, German
businesses want to benefit from microservices and from serverless
and low-code or no-code development.
"Application outsourcing has evolved from being a
waterfall-based traditional approach into one that has incorporated
disruptive agile-based operating models, making the core
development model a direct competitive advantage for many
enterprises," said Andrea Spiegelhoff, partner, ISG DACH.
"Enterprises are adapting to this changing environment through
faster releases and deployments of application services."
German clients are looking for agile experience from their ADM
providers, the report adds. Executing large-scale agile projects is
a challenge, however. Some providers are offering dedicated agile
offshoring capabilities.
Many smaller Germany companies
are looking to transform into globally active enterprises through
agile methods, the report says. These companies prefer to partner
with providers that offer excellent local support, with
German-speaking service, combined with a globally distributed agile
organization.
The report also sees legacy systems as the biggest hurdle for
enterprise agility in Germany.
Companies are seeking ways to overcome the roadblocks created by
legacy systems, and they are demanding consulting services that
integrate agile elements into all aspects of a digital
transformation.
The report also finds a growing focus in Germany on continuous testing services, with a
strong push for testing automation to enable continuous development
and DevOps. German companies see testing services as a way to
enable emerging technologies like blockchain and the Internet of
Things.
Finally, the report finds substantial growth in the use of
DevOps in Germany, with a growing
focus on security and DevSecOps. The focus on DevOps is driving
demand for automation, because manually taking code through
testing, building, configuration and deployment becomes a
bottleneck, the report says.
The 2019-2020 ISG Provider Lens™ Next-Gen Application
Development & Maintenance (ADM) Services Report for
Germany evaluates the capabilities
of 33 providers across four quadrants: Next-Gen ADM, Agile
Development, Continuous Testing and DevOps Consulting.
The report names Atos and Capgemini as leaders in all four
quadrants, and DXC Technology and IBM as leaders in three. Deutsche
Telekom (TSI) and Wipro are named leaders in two quadrants, and
Accenture, Cognizant and Infosys are named leaders in one.
A customized version of the report is available from
Capgemini.
