Business agility is no longer optional for companies. Nimble organizations that can add new services and capture new market opportunities stand to break away from and eclipse their competitors. Those that cannot become flexible risk becoming irrelevant.
A nimble business requires IT agility, which is why IT leaders have spent billions of dollars over the past decade on technologies that improve flexibility within the computing and application tiers. However, little has been done to date to simplify the communication and networking tiers of IT. This can significantly hamper organizations because a business can only be as agile as its least agile IT component.
