\"Bridging
\nBi-Modal IT inherently means two teams, two processes, two sets of resources and two different ways of thinking, and somehow these converge in the end. Achieving agility with Bi-Modal IT thus comes at a cost, siloes impeding innovation, with the legacy back office systems and potential team conflicts.<\/em><\/p>\n

CIOs need to have one team, one common mission, one shared set of resources, one way of thinking, with agility, and stability in mind, with operations and innovations in mind, wiBi-Modal<\/em> IT with different teams and siloed solutions. But does Bi-Modal IT solve things?<\/em><\/p>\n

The real challenge is enabling innovation across all IT functions, at the application level, within on-prem solutions and in the cloud, at the infrastructure middleware level, and the back-office (CRM, billing systems, etc.), so for a solution that is agile and innovative and can respond with security that is built-in to accelerate with the pace of innovation, can\u2019t be hampered by legacy systems, which had security as an after-thought, or legacy business models hard-coded in.\u00a0Bi-modal IT assumes that Agile, DevOps-based systems lack the legacy IT\u2019s abilities of \u2013 reliability, scalability and availability \u2013 and cannot function with newer Agile, DevOps-based developments and practices<\/strong><\/a>, which is untrue.<\/p>\n

The Solution: Perhaps newer thinking is needed in re-architecting the legacy systems and making everything Agile using tools, software busses, and platforms that bridge legacy ALM (Applications Lifecycle Management) solutions with DevOps-based solutions.<\/p>\n

With vendors like Kovair with Application Lifecycle Management platforms<\/strong><\/a> for both legacy Waterfall systems and newer Agile, DevOps systems, MuleSoft having newer API middleware to both legacy and newer systems, vendors like Compuware touting Java-like development to mainframe systems, and vendors like IBM with cloud-based AI systems and analytics-tools, perhaps the solution is making it all collaborative, with integrated solutions.<\/p>\n

While Mode 1 is predictable, and stable, Mode 2 in Bi-Modal IT is Agile, relatively unstable, based on the mantra: \u201cFail fast, Recover fast, and if successful, go to market quickly\u201d.<\/em> This mode in the DevOps world assumes that new technologies are brought in, tested fast, and discarded if failed, but launched quickly across all markets if successful. This can occur with quick fallback to existing operational systems that are upgraded only if the new Agile solutions are proven, as long as the OPs-part in DevOps is up to the challenge.<\/p>\n
