What is Hybrid by Design?
Hybrid by Design is a methodology that emphasizes interoperability through intentional integration of technology components. It aims to simplify the management of hybrid environments, which often include a mix of cloud, data centers, and edge locations. This approach helps organizations avoid the complexities and inefficiencies associated with a hybrid-by-default strategy, ultimately driving better business outcomes.
Why is leadership involvement crucial in digital transformation?
Senior leadership involvement is essential because technology strategy should not be confined to the IT department. A collaborative approach ensures that the mission of digital transformation is shared across the organization, fostering a culture that embraces change. This leadership support is critical in overcoming operational silos and aligning technology initiatives with broader business objectives.
What are the benefits of adopting Hybrid by Design?
Organizations that adopt Hybrid by Design can expect several benefits, including improved efficiency, reduced costs, and enhanced security. An IBM Consulting analysis found that companies using this approach achieved three times higher ROI from IT programs over five years. This methodology also facilitates better coordination among teams and helps streamline operations, making it easier to leverage emerging technologies like generative AI.
