In this context, and with the increasing automation of manufacturing and decision-making processes, the value of IT use is reinforced and becomes an asset for the company, provided that it achieves IT agility and can maintain it. However, practice and research remain unsatisfactory in providing useful answers on how to achieve agility in this environment. Strategic Information System Agility: From Theory to Practices is an invaluable resource to discover the strategic information technology agility in organizations (Scrum, Agile, DevOps). The purpose of this book is to improve the awareness of strategic information system agility. This book focuses on the impact of IT systems' strategic agility on organizations' business performance in response to highly uncertain and unexpected events that are potentially significant.
The book also includes frameworks, practical solutions and technological advances related to IT agility, and draw from the real world of business through case studies in large organizations. The book offers comprehensive coverage of essential topics, including: Agility Concept, Enterprise Information System Agility, Conceptual IT Agility, Strategic IT Service Management Agility, Cloud computing as a driver of IT Agility. The authors deliver comprehensive coverage of the elements necessary for the development and the implementation of effective Information systems strategic agility. Providing the concept, theory, modeling, and architecture of an agile information system, covering the state of the art, concepts, and methodologies for developing information.
In the last decade, the use of information systems as a strategic tool has contributed significantly to the Information Technology revolution. However, the adoption of information systems is rarely successful without adequate precautions and attention. IT systems’ deployment is both a risky and profitable choice for an increasingly rapid and evolving economic context.
Nowadays, organizations increasingly require a reactive and proactive response to uncertain internal and external events and opportunities, demonstrating agility of action to reach a company’s operational performance. The issue is that organizations are generally not prepared to deal with significant uncertainties and unpredictability. Likewise, information systems are not developed to cope with change and unpredictability. Consequently, for many companies, IT signifies a constraining factor to business agility requirements.
Since 2007, the Cloud Computing term had been introduced to the information technology (IT) dictionary. The theme is attracting growing interest from both the IT world and the business players, who need to enhance information systems agility, reduced costs, or even less dependence on internal IT teams when they are judged too slow. However, the fact that cloud computing, as presented by providers, increases the agility, is unclear. Business Managers; IT professional, and academics are querying about relationship between cloud computing and IT agility. This chapter aims to answer two major concerns: Factors that influence cloud computing adoption in medium and large organizations, and the Cloud Computing role to improve the agility of information systems. This chapter argues that cloud computing impacts Information System (IS) performance by organizational capabilities (agility). One of the primary motivations of this chapter is the lack of fieldwork when considering how Cloud Computing improves the information systems’ agility.
