Forrester study confirms importance of agile integration
A survey of leading decision makers correlates use of agile integration with business success
In a study commissioned by Red Hat, Forrester Consulting surveyed 300 strategic decision makers among Forrester’s customer base in North America, the U.K., France, Germany, India, and China. The goal of the research was to discover a relationship between the use of agile integration and successful business execution. Agile integration was defined as "combining integration technologies, agile delivery techniques, and cloud-native platforms to improve speed and security of software delivery." Forrester discovered clear evidence that companies that employed this integration fared better than those that did not. The study found that:
- Firms whose current integration strategy supports their agile delivery teams well or very well were considered successful, while firms whose current integration strategy supports their integration strategy below average or not at all were considered less successful.
- Creating a culture where the integration strategy supports agile delivery teams is critical for successful digital transformations.
