Want to accelerate your organization’s digital innovation in 2022? Here’s three ways to do it.

After two years of significant investment in cloud and related technologies to support hybrid working and digital-first models, 2022 presents a critical juncture for IT and digital leaders to maintain innovation, as research shows that companies with a focus on innovation during crises can outperform the market by 30% in subsequent years. To thrive competitively, organizations must enhance developer productivity, simplify infrastructure choices, and reduce complexity. This involves investing in new tools and cloud-based environments to boost developer efficiency, avoiding over-engineering by being pragmatic about hybrid cloud infrastructures, and managing complexity through real-time dependency management and automation. As digital services continue to expand, freeing up developers to focus on innovation rather than maintenance is essential for driving growth, with firms that excel in "developer velocity" achieving significantly higher revenue growth.
