BMC Study Reveals Opportunities for Enterprises to Leverage Emergent Data

Taylor Graham — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 19:00:34 +0000

BMC has published findings and analysis from its survey and report, Putting the “Ops” in DataOps: Success Factors for Operationalizing Data. This second annual survey of IT decision-makers offers insights into how enterprises can evaluate and improve their data maturity strategies to gain a competitive edge. Additionally, a complementary data maturity assessment helps companies assess their current status and offers recommended next steps.

As organizations strive to capitalize on their ever-growing data trove to scale their operations and improve business outcomes, the study found that only 17% of data ingested or landed consists of emergent data types, and only 9% of that data is processed or analyzed. This signals a significant opportunity to benefit from emergent data types critical for initiatives like generative AI, LLMs, FinOps, and sustainability.

To help enterprises better understand and assess their data and DataOps strategy, the study defined four maturity levels, including:

Developing – discovery phase with strategies in their infancy, and practices and architecture not closely aligned to business outcomes.
Functional – growth phase with strategies primarily developed and some high-priority practices and architecture linked to business outcomes.
Proficient – adolescent phase representing a fully established strategy with nearly all practices and architecture linked to critical business outcomes.
Exceptional – innovation phase with a perpetually optimized strategy, practices, and architecture that generates competitive differentiation and business value.

DataOps strategy is closely aligned with data management maturity. Of those respondents with exceptional data management maturity, 27% stated they use DataOps methodologies across their organization to support all data-driven activities. In comparison, those with proficient maturity levels reported 19%, and functional and developing levels stated 15% and 10%, respectively. Even among organizations with exceptional data maturity, only 41% report having “high maturity” for data pipeline and application workflow orchestration functions.

Higher data management and DataOps maturity are linked to higher reported adoption and success with data-driven activities. Seventy-five percent (75%) of those with mature practices have a Chief Data Officer, while only 54% with less mature practices do.

Challenges Obstruct Flow of Data

Multiple challenges continue to impact the flow of data in businesses, including those related to people, processes, and technology. These include a lack of skills (48%), human error and mistakes (43%), limitations on scalability (40%), and a lack of technology automation (43%). A lack of automation can exacerbate a lack of skills, while an appropriate use of automation can amplify skills already available.

“AI and data are in a cosmic dance, and data challenges are increasing dramatically in the AI era,” said Ram Chakravarti, chief technology officer at BMC. “This study highlights how organizations with mature data practices can achieve better business outcomes. Implementing DataOps methodologies to enhance collaboration and operational efficiency, maintaining high data quality through pragmatic investments, and developing robust data pipeline orchestration systems can help unlock value at scale.”

BMC commissioned 451 Research, part of S&P Global Market Intelligence, to conduct the survey in late 2023, sourcing insights from 1,100 IT, data, and business professionals from large enterprises in diverse global regions across multiple industries in eleven countries.

BMC Survey Validates Mainframes Are Critical in Driving Digital Innovation and Growth

Taylor Graham — Fri, 08 Oct 2021 22:48:41 +0000

BMC, a global leader in software solutions for the Autonomous Digital Enterprise, announced its 16^th annual mainframe survey results and new and expanded capabilities within the BMC AMI (Automated Mainframe Intelligence) and BMC Compuware portfolios to fully support customers as they progress on their digital transformation journeys.

The survey finds leading organizations are investing in the mainframe, innovating with DevOps, and integrating systems and teams to drive digital transformation. BMC’s latest offerings help companies address these priorities and more with enhancements that emphasize software quality to reduce risk, detect the causes of performance issues faster, and automate complex issues like compliance.

Champions Drive Mainframe Innovation for Business Growth
After surveying more than 1,300 executives and technical professionals globally, it is clear the mainframe will continue to be instrumental in powering digital businesses in an unpredictable world. Among the findings:

92% see the mainframe as a platform for long-term growth and new workloads.
86% of extra-large shops expect MIPS to grow while 72% of them have more than half their data on the mainframe.
66% of respondents are mainframe champions investing in new technologies such as AIOps and artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML), innovating to meet rising digital demands with DevOps, and integrating the mainframe into enterprise IT.
19% of respondents are mainframe laggards keeping their investment flat; they derive less value in new technologies on the platform and report relatively modest growth in mainframe data and apps.

Shift-Left Automated Testing Enables Faster Delivery with Better Quality
Organizations are moving quickly to keep pace with the rising demand for new applications and services that deliver a better customer experience for internal and external users. According to the survey:

39% of respondents cite application modernization as a top priority.
88% of champions want to update applications with greater frequency, and 40% update every week or every other week.
43% of champions want to improve application quality with DevOps.
80% of champions yield value from their mainframe DevOps adoption within a year or less.

In response to these demands and respondents citing test automation as a necessary capability, BMC has expanded shift-left automated testing capabilities in the BMC Compuware Topaz for Total Test solution. Development teams can now accelerate the delivery of innovations because fewer defects travel to the test environment. Manual testing that previously took days to complete can now be done in hours. In combination with the BMC Compuware zAdviser solution, mainframe DevOps practitioners of all skill levels can identify bugs and defects earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) when they are less costly to fix.

“Mainframe is still the system of choice for companies that need high-transaction throughput with guaranteed reliability and consistent data. As mainframe data steadily becomes more complex with new uses for web and mobile applications, the need for mainframe DevOps adoption and AI-driven monitoring solutions rises exponentially,” said Stephen Elliot, group vice president, I&O, Cloud Operations, and DevOps, IDC. “Organizations leveraging the mainframe should be adopting modern DevOps and AIOps solutions that improve visibility and management across the entire software and services chain to the end-user.”

AI/ML Enables Innovation and Improves Performance
Businesses continue to invest in AI/ML to speed detection and analysis while simplifying workflows. According to the survey, extra-large shops prioritized implementation of AI/ML, with 57% of mainframe champions reducing the need for specialized skills with AIOps. The trend toward implementing new technologies on mainframes has also picked up, with 36% citing it as a key strength (up 11% since 2019.)

The BMC AMI Ops solution now includes more AI detection and analysis capabilities that are fully automated with real-time notifications and next-generation user interface (UI) enhancements to speed incident response times. Users can detect a wider range of problems, uncover more root causes sooner, and respond to performance issues faster with the solution’s expanded list of actions and simplified workflows.

Automated Compliance Ensures Active Security Posture
Security was the most-named priority for the second year in a row (61%) among survey respondents. Sixty-three percent of mainframe champions are making security and compliance a top priority, and they are also 85% more likely than laggards to send mainframe data to an enterprise SIEM. In addition, champions streamline development and strengthen security across the enterprise – 42% have z/OS® Connect:Enterprise® in production.

While the mainframe is inherently securable, last year’s shift to remote work proved that perimeter-based defenses are no longer enough, and an active approach is essential to ensure protection. Enhancements to the BMC AMI Security solution allow teams to automatically run Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) audits. This capability prevents compliance drift through real-time automatic alerts on changes to settings and removes configuration vulnerabilities that hackers can exploit.

“The survey results, which were validated early on with clients and analysts, are resoundingly clear: executive and technical professionals are confident that the mainframe remains a key part of their digital success,” said John McKenny, senior vice president and general manager, Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation at BMC. “The innovations we delivered today as part of our team’s 28th quarterly release help mainframe champions continue to use the platform to drive significant value and empower others to use the mainframe as an engine of digital innovation.”

BMC Hardens Mainframe Security with New Capabilities to Protect Against Malicious Insider Threats

Taylor Graham — Thu, 08 Jul 2021 08:18:12 +0000

BMC, a global leader in software solutions for the Autonomous Digital Enterprise, announced several new innovations and integrations within the BMC Automated Mainframe Intelligence (BMC AMI) and BMC Compuware portfolios designed to improve threat detection and response and expand access to mainstream DevOps tools to modernize mainframe applications and increase developer productivity.

These updates enable users to:

Uncover weaknesses and malicious activity before a compromise occurs with automated detection and response to suspicious or unusual, privileged user activity.

Accelerate development team output with new integrations that simplify continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) pipelines, as well as orchestrate automated deployments across multiple platforms.

Increase mainframe performance and resilience with a solution that diagnoses potential Java Virtual Machine (JVM) performance issues, a valued capability given the increase in Java applications running on mainframes.

Improve the mainframe developer and systems programmer experience with a contribution to the Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe framework.

Protect Access to Privileged Accounts

The fastest route to mainframe data is through privileged accounts, as well as supervisor and credentialed-call activities. These accounts can be compromised by external attackers or malicious internal users who can issue call activities that allow them to access and steal valuable data. Even worse, once compromised, they are an effective way for attackers to deploy ransomware, avoid detection, and increase their dwell time.

The new and expanded supervisor call screener and Unix® System Service (USS) data enrichment for the BMC AMI Security solution surfaces calls that might indicate malicious activities and quickly shows user actions with superuser privileges. This solution provides all BMC AMI Security customers with an added level of security protection against compromised privileged user accounts to stop and prevent threat campaigns, insider theft, or unseen privilege levels that may lead to future attacks.

According to Forrester, “Whether accidental or malicious, insider incidents can result in financial fraud, privacy abuses, intellectual property theft, or damage to infrastructure. It’s difficult for security pros to detect this suspicious activity because insiders need to have privileged access to data to do their jobs. Since insiders are people and, therefore, entitled to privacy and due process, security pros must handle these incidents with greater care than external threats.”

Increase Developer Agility and Enable Faster Application Updates

BMC continues to expand access to mainstream DevOps-enabled tools to empower mainframe developers across all experience levels to deliver modern mainframe applications.

According to the 2021 BMC-commissioned Forrester Consulting study, “Modernizing Mainframe Development Tools Can Help Drive Greater ROI,” over three quarters of developers indicated the mainframe is of utmost importance to their organization. However, 8 out of 10 stated their mainframe development tools need significant improvement to provide more value. The study concluded that teams with modern tools are further along in their efforts to create modern mainframe applications and have fewer issues with skills gaps and top talent acquisition.

The BMC Compuware ISPW solution now integrates with GitHub Actions and HCL Launch to further automate the mainframe application development and deployment process, reducing cost and complexity.

GitHub Actions and HCL Launch extend the existing built-in CI/CD integrations in the BMC Compuware ISPW solution, which include Jenkins, Git, GitLab, GitHub, VS Code, and REST APIs. With GitHub Actions, users can reduce errors and improve application quality by setting up CI/CD pipelines with automated workflows.

HCL Launch enables developers to orchestrate automated deployments across multiple environments with a single click. HCL Launch also broadens the existing CD integrations from BMC with Digital.ai Release and CloudBees Flow to make deployments faster and easier.

Customers can now also use an HCL Launch plug-in for the BMC AMI DevOps for Db2 solution to automatically capture and propagate database changes across Db2® environments, in addition to Jenkins and IBM® UrbanCode® Deploy.

Quickly Identify Java Performance Issues

The BMC AMI Ops Monitor for Java Environments solution automatically discovers all JVMs across z/OS®. It enables users to find and fix problems quickly by identifying performance issues caused by JVMs and understanding their impact on other workloads. New, extended capabilities ensure higher availability and better response time by enabling the mainframe to take diagnostic actions and see information about the APIs and services used by JVMs.

BMC Joins The Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe

The new Workflow WiZard tool from BMC has been accepted as part of the Open Mainframe Project’s Zowe, an integrated and extensible open source framework for z/OS. Workflow WiZard makes the job of developers and systems programmers easier by streamlining the installation, configuration, and maintenance of IBM and ISV z/OS software products. This contribution emphasizes the company’s commitment to the Open Mainframe Project and provides an opportunity to collaborate with the mainframe community and increase innovation on the z/OS platform.

“Clients rely on BMC to support their mainframe transformation. We prevent insider threats to the mainframe, increase software delivery, quality, velocity, and efficiency, and strengthen operational resilience,” said John McKenny, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation at BMC. “With new and expanded capabilities for our BMC AMI and BMC Compuware solutions, they can continue to turn the mainframe into a hub of innovation for every Autonomous Digital Enterprise.”

BMC Enables Organizations to Develop and Deliver Code Faster

Leigh Porter — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 20:58:11 +0000

BMC, announced several new offerings and integrations within the BMC Automated Mainframe Intelligence (AMI) and BMC Compuware portfolios designed to modernize and streamline mainframe application development and delivery, while also increasing uptime and accelerating threat detection.

This latest release transforms mainframe management across the BMC Compuware ISPW, BMC Compuware Topaz, BMC Compuware File-AID, BMC AMI Ops Insight, BMC AMI SQL Performance, and BMC AMI Security solutions to enable users to:

Build, analyze, test, deploy, and manage mainframe applications quickly, efficiently, and with precision through an expanded cross-platform DevOps toolchain;
Reduce and potentially eliminate how long it takes to diagnose a problem with intelligent, automated, probable cause analysis; and
Detect and respond more quickly to security threats by uniting mainframe security and IT Operations workflows to make threat events visible, assignable, and trackable.

Mainstream Mainframe Development with an Enterprise DevOps Approach
BMC has completed the integration of Compuware, a BMC company, to create the BMC Compuware suite of tools that build upon the existing BMC AMI DevOps offerings. Now integrated with Visual Studio Code, a popular development tool, the BMC Compuware ISPW solution allows developers to edit source code and compile it on the mainframe with a simple right click. The BMC Compuware Topaz solution comes with a new command line interface and multiple application programming interfaces that give developers flexibility in how they connect to the mainframe, lessen dependence on specialized skillsets, and extend the DevOps toolchain. Finally, developers can also experience dynamically reduced search times when reviewing billions of transactions and log files with the new BMC Compuware File-AID 21 solution’s release.

The BMC Compuware ISPW solution integrates with Visual Studio Code to enable developers to compile changed code on the mainframe with a right click.

“This move by BMC has sent a clear signal that DevOps has shifted from the broad adoption phase to the massive adoption phase. DevOps has become table stakes for every enterprise; whether they operate in the cloud or on a mainframe, they need to adopt DevOps to remain relevant, let alone be competitive. Yet adopting DevOps for many organizations, especially those with mainframes, has been a challenge,” wrote Christopher Condo, Chris Gardner, and Diego Lo Giudice at Forrester Research.1 “…If DevOps doesn’t scale on mainframes, too, where modernization of the core is an impediment, core will all move to the cloud. The bet of BMC and Compuware is to scale DevOps on the mainframe like any other platform.”

To support DevOps processes and increase code quality, the BMC AMI SQL Performance for Db2® solution provides the ability to shift left the quality control of Db2 SQL through a Jenkins plugin that helps prevent SQL from violating company standards and impacting production environments. The solution interrogates static and dynamic SQL in its current environment and against target production environments. This ensures SQL coding standards and performance issues are reported and resolved prior to moving to the next step in the route-to-live process.

Move from Reactive to Real-Time Proactive Problem Resolution
The BMC AMI Ops Insight solution shifts systems management from reactive to proactive mode with automated intelligent diagnostic capabilities that now provide probable cause. Users receive the earliest possible notification of system degradation, with fewer false positives, as well as the ability to pinpoint the issue. By getting to the possible cause faster, BMC AMI Ops Insight provides more time to remediate with actionable insights.

The BMC AMI Ops Insight solution helps reduce and potentially eliminate how long it takes to diagnose mainframe systems problems with intelligent automated, probable cause analysis.

Unite Security and Operations Workflows
The BMC AMI Security offering, which protects against vulnerabilities, malicious actions, and data theft, now integrates with the BMC Helix ITSM solution. If the BMC AMI Security solution detects a threat, this new integration will automatically generate a security incident in BMC Helix ITSM, providing IT Operations teams with greater visibility through a single, real-time data feed and a well-defined process so they can act, track, and respond to threats and events faster.

In addition to its integration with BMC Helix ITSM, the new BMC AMI Security release continues to integrate with a wide number of enterprise security information and event management solutions and thus provides more ways to assign and rapidly investigate events, shorten mean-time-to-remediation, and make mainframes more secure.

“Mainframes are an essential part of our customers’ digital transformation strategies. With tools that transform mainframe management, we allow our clients to better embrace DevOps practices and get the most value out of their investments to accelerate innovation,” said John McKenny, SVP and General Manager, Intelligent Z Optimization and Transformation at BMC. “We continue to help our customers achieve operational resiliency, while automating and minimizing manual tasks to free them up to become an Autonomous Digital Enterprise.”

BMC Research Finds Global Organizations Operate at Less Than 40 Percent of Their Digital Potential

Leigh Porter — Fri, 05 Mar 2021 18:44:54 +0000

BMC, announced the full results of its global survey for enterprise IT, “The Autonomous Digital Enterprise: A Strategic Approach to Measuring and Improving Digital Competitiveness” and availability of the Autonomous Digital Enterprise (ADE) Index interactive tool. The ADE Index tool is designed to help an enterprise measure its digital competitiveness and identify areas of opportunity, with a documented framework for future success.

Ram Chakravarti, Chief Technology Officer at BMC shares high-level insights in technology investments to support an increase in digital competitiveness over the next two years

BMC commissioned 451 Research, an S&P Global company, to assess the market perception and state of preparedness needed to navigate an era of intelligence, automation, and autonomy to ultimately become an ADE. Conducted in late 2020, the survey sourced insights from 1,200 business and IT decision-makers across more than 20 industries and 11 countries, and in organizations that had at least 500 employees with annual revenue over $100 million.

High-level insights include:

Global enterprises currently practice about two-fifths of what is needed to function as an ADE. Although all operating models and technology tenets of an ADE are currently practiced by the surveyed organizations, the top three enterprise focus areas draw the majority of the investment and include becoming a Data-Driven Business, Optimized Technology Buying, and Digital Business Domains.
The Global ADE Index is projected to increase from 39.3% to 46.1% over the next two years indicating a recognition from companies around the world to invest more heavily in enterprise technology solutions that increase digital competitiveness.
Looking forward two years, the top enterprise focus areas continue to include Data-Driven Business with an added focus on Adaptive Cybersecurity and a Transcendent Customer Experience. Tech-Savvy Corporate Functions was a close fourth demonstrating that human and digital skills need to align rapidly.
Latin America (LATAM) respondents reported a projected ADE Index score increase to 52% in two years – the biggest jump across all regions – signifying a strong willingness to make investments in technology and process to become an ADE.

Figure 2: Projected Global ADE Index for 2022/2023

Assessing digital maturity to run and reinvent
An ADE is the future state of business, one that comprises intelligent, interconnected, technology-enabled, value-creating systems that minimizes manual effort to capitalize on human creativity, skills, and intellect across the enterprise. The ADE Index tool gives organizations a way of measuring their own digital maturity and sophistication against the original cohort of respondents and opens the dialogue on how to improve digital competitiveness across the ADE operating model and technology tenets.

“The ADE Index developed from this research comes at a pivotal moment for the global enterprise landscape, as attaining operational excellence through automated technologies is an immediate necessity,” said Carl Lehmann, Senior Research Analyst at 451 Research. “This research shows that areas like security are an investment priority and the ability to measure oneself against peers can be advantageous to an enterprise’s deliberate integration of what’s needed to adapt and compete.”

“2020 forced nearly every enterprise worldwide to accelerate their digital transformation efforts, and as they hit the reset button on priorities, budgets, and timelines organization-wide, we all know that being digitally competitive is now mandatory,” said Ram Chakravarti, Chief Technology Officer at BMC. “This research illustrates that companies are just scratching the surface of their potential as an ADE. Coupled with our ADE Index tool, we’re excited to share a practical way for an enterprise to assess where they are in their ADE journey, and to ultimately help them create a clear path forward to thrive and compete well into the future.”
