BENGALURU, India, July 28, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

- New research released by Infosys Knowledge Institute identifies seven Agile

levers that can deliver 63 percent higher chance of business growth

    Infosys [https://www.infosys.com/en.html] (NSE: INFY) (BSE: INFY) (NYSE:

INFY), a global leader in next-generation digital services and consulting,

today unveiled a new set of Enterprise Agile DevOps capabilities that will help

businesses strengthen customer centricity and innovation. Key among them are

the product-centric value delivery model and the data-centric live engineering

approach that helps enterprises drive business value faster while being secure

by design. With the product-centric value delivery model, enterprises can

transform the way they develop and deliver products and services by reimagining

customer journeys, with agile product teams bringing these to life. Through the

data-centric live engineering approach enterprises can increase the speed of

outcomes by using the power of advanced analytics and AI to generate

persona-based actionable insights.

    According to a recent Infosys Knowledge Institute study titled 'Agile Radar

2021: Drive Business Value Faster', 74 percent of C-suite and IT executives,

across US and Europe, invest their money in product management, underlining it

as a key business priority. DevSecOps emerged as a top area of investment among

CIOs to ensure faster business decisions through AI and ML-driven customer

insights. The research also revealed that companies who implemented seven Agile

levers i.e., customer insights to strengthen customer journeys, organizing

teams around the customer, collaboration across functional boundaries,

instituting self-organized teams, upskilling the workforce, using Agile

workspaces and collaboration platforms for remote working, reported a 63

percent higher chance of growth, ahead of their peers.

    With a lean based value stream approach, supplemented by customer

experience design and product management capabilities, Infosys helps clients

re-imagine their customer journeys and setup integrated product teams to drive

accelerated business outcomes. To this point, Infosys' Agile Radar study draws

emphasis on how product-centric value delivery levers such as 'customer

insights to strengthen customer journeys', 'focusing on products rather than

functions', and 'MVP (minimal viable product) based funding' can augment

business performance.

    Infosys' integrated Agile & DevOps framework is designed to address agility

needs of enterprises, across all technology stacks and types of work. Infosys

DevSecOps Platform helps bake in security within the value stream.

    Christian Bayer, Head of ERP and Data & Analytics, Syngenta Group said, "In

our endeavor to be more innovative, more responsive to business change and to

be cost effective, we decided to adopt an agile-first approach to transform our

SAP services. Infosys partnered with us and brought onboard its proven

next-generation service delivery Agile framework for executing a phased

transformation journey. I am very proud of what we achieved. We have reduced

business disruptions by half, with service requests being delivered 80 percent

faster, turnaround time improved by 45 percent, and all this with 33 percent

cost reduction in the first year. We worked together as a team to become truly

agile in SAP."

"Today, enterprises are looking to significantly accelerate their digital

journeys to realize business value faster," said Ravi Kumar S, President,

Infosys. "Forward thinking firms are now evolving to a product centric

operating model to ingrain customer centricity, business agility and innovation

in the fabric of their organizations. Building product management and

experience design capabilities are becoming the need of the hour. At Infosys,

we leverage our wide range of Enterprise Agile DevOps platforms, expertise, and

tools to help clients create new ways of collaboration, orchestrate, and

deliver products and solutions against robust business outcomes."
