Vision for the Agile Business
|
A dynamic system is Microsoft's vision for what an agile business looks like—where IT works closely with business in order to meet the demands of a rapidly changing and adaptable environment. The Dynamic Systems Initiative (DSI) is Microsoft's technology strategy for products and solutions that help businesses enhance the dynamic capability of its people, process, and IT infrastructure using technology.

PeopleFor the CIO, it's a journey. If you run your shop well, earn your stripes, then you get a seat at the table with the CEO. This is where IT drives business growth. You have to start somewhere—so start with us and our vision to enable infrastructure for the people-ready business: Dynamic Systems Initiative. We will help you get your IT shop fit, keep it fit, and give you the platform to innovate. ProcessUsing the IT life cycle, DSI provides the process guidance that businesses need to be successful in the journey towards the dynamic system. Through a continuous cycle of process improvement, design processes are dedicated to planning and implementing enhancements to the IT environment. By reducing incompatible or conflicting changes and streamlining release efforts, deployment processes help businesses manage changes to their IT infrastructure. By protecting IT infrastructure assets, operating processes provide ongoing maintenance, monitoring and control. And through the resolution of user and system-generated issues, processes and practices required to fully support efficient use of an IT infrastructure are instituted. TechnologyMicrosoft's blueprint for the Dynamic Systems Initiative has three parts: virtualized infrastructure, design for operations, and knowledge-driven management. Virtualized Infrastructure With infrastructure virtualization, businesses will attain greater flexibility and agility with the ability to draw upon resources, as needed, from a virtual service pool. Server consolidations, rapid provisioning, and live migrations will reduce incremental costs while providing a level of business readiness and scalability unattainable within a purely physical infrastructure. | |
