“Only 40% of CIOs will lead the digital transformation
of the enterprise by 2018.”
— International data Corporation (IDC)
Advancements in Technology and New Platforms Is Only Getting Faster!
Are we thriving in this Age of Digital
Transformation?

Backlog Takes too long to create
digital services
How does our Backlog Look?
Scattered Technologies Need to unify standards across
multiple legacy stacks
Lots of moving pieces - how is our communication and follow through?
Technical Debt New microservices and API
projects add to technical debt
What does our strategy to modernize look like?
Migration Strategy Need less costly, risk migration
plan for future & innovate today
How are we executing?
Legacy vs. DevOps Legacy related projects are
not aligned with DevOps
What is the impact on modern architecture?
Time to Market Accelerate new digital/omnichannels,
lock in customer loyalty
Do we bring out new products quickly?

Ayalon - Development Challenges
26
Ayalon: Israeli-based Insurance company
Challenges:
• Monolithic applications
• On-prem systems
• By the time services launched already obsolete
Industry Landscape:
• Most insurance companies avoid full DevOps
• Organizational
• Automation
Success Criteria
27
DevOps is part of the success criteria – Need commitment up front
Real education of teams – Speed is essential
Example of early success
New deal with large bank – sell to their business customers
• Software updates complete 2 months before signed agreement
IT is no longer the bottleneck

Global API Case Study
• Disparate, customized implementations of core, legacy system in 50+ countries
• Backlog of 100+ foundational APIs to deliver new digital, global services
• Long development cycles with 200+ developers
The Goal: Global Microservice APIs to support Omni-Channel Demands
Traditional Architecture
Simplified Architecture
Global API Case Study Results
• Legacy Microservice APIs created in 2 days
• 7x performance improvement for transaction response times
• Eliminate backlog with agile development and standardization
• Significantly lower cost of development
• Quickly add new logic or applications without touching legacy system

Constant Vigilance
What do we need to do to do it better, cheaper, faster? That is the challenge – It never stops
Thank you!
Why are so many doing so little?
36
Desire
Immense pressure
to innovate
Much easier said than done
Reality
Years of budget cuts – but must address new
demands
Easier to keep the status quo
Threat
Legacy systems will continue to work.
Today competitive value is by creation of
exceptional customer experience
