The first step was to virtualize and standardize those services, and the next step was to mobilize them, so we had competition in infrastructure provisioning. You can send new or existing work in either minutes, hours, days or weeks to competitors. That’s significantly improved the standard reduced the cost of infrastructure services.”

CIO, Asia-Pacific Bank

ServiceMesh acts as the gatekeeper and manager of everything we want to do. I can now start thinking about my developers, my projects managers having direct access to my infrastructure, and I no longer have to be the middleman.

We’ve already adopted an “as-a-service” approach to infrastructure for some 25 functions, including storage, hosting and application development platforms.

General Manager, Top 15 Global Bank

With ServiceMesh, we were able to do infrastructure-as-a-service almost up to the platform level, meaning with some middleware integration, and had the environment up and running and provisioning in 7 days.

Vice President, Global Debit and Credit Card Processor

The Agility Platform provides a single pane of glass of abstraction that allows you line of sight from the application, to the service, to the infrastructure; theoretically the entire stack. Once you have that, the whole commoditization of software as a services, true pay by the drink, true cost transparency, that’s where it’s headed.

SVP of IT, Global Consumer Products Company

My vision for this organization is to enable us to compete for any business we want against any competitor, and give them all the tools necessary for them to win that business. And that’s what we’re doing.

Vice President, Global Debit and Credit Card Processor

Half our spending went to the cost of doing business and conferred no strategic advantage. Today, the ratio of IT expenditure on business service versus infrastructure is 74 to 26 percent. We know that it’s world leading.

CIO, Asia-Pacific Bank

Whatever you can dream up, I can orchestrate in the policy engine.
