YOUR USER EXPERIENCE RE-IMAGINED THROUGH IDEATION AND FAST-CYCLE DEVELOPMENT
DXC provides the capability and scale to deliver secure applications across various cloud platforms, including private, with speed and quality using modern delivery methods and DevOps to enrich user experience, accelerate business outcomes and drive customer loyalty. DXC helps organizations transform their applications and IT organizations to realize modern agile operating models that have DevOps (What modern IT organizations do) and Site Reliability Engineering (How modern IT organizations do it) at their core. Doing modern application development correctly means often means turning our backs on decades of “best practices and processes” and rethinking the core of IT to realize the business value from modern technology.
Our Modern Application Development services span the entire cloud application lifecycle aligned to today’s dynamic business environment. In addition, DXC can help customers adopt modern delivery methods and practices within their organizations and enabling accelerated changes in culture and technology necessary to facilitate adoption at scale. Our services follow the customer journey migration all the way to the cloud through optimizing and transforming the applications to enhance their business agility and radically reduce their operational costs.
The DXC approach addresses the full lifecycle from product ideation and innovation for new digital products, from bottlenecks and constraints that limit velocity, through fast-cycle development, to realize real business value from modern cloud platforms. It involves teams who both develop and operate digital applications securely. DXC views this through a concise and straight forward lexicon of Design, Digitize, and Scale.
Using DXC’s Modern Application Development capabilities customers have achieved up to 50% increase in business agility by shortening product cycle (development to deployment) times, 5-10X reduction in TCO (reducing application and operational costs), and significantly improving security while increasing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the developers, business, and organization.

DevSecOps: Why security is essential
Digital is rewriting the rules of business. To stay in the game and move ahead of the pack, enterprises need a secure approach to building, testing and releasing modern applications at speed using a DevSecOps approach. Here are four steps to achieving DevSecOps success.
1. Address culture first
Recognizing that a culture change is needed is critical to successfully adopting DevSecOps. DevSecOps requires a shift in thinking and an evolution in how teams work together to support the business. Traditionally, development teams focused on delivering new application features as quickly as possible, often giving less thought to the security and reliability of the application. Operations teams focused on stability and reliability, with less thought on speed of delivery. And application security teams focused primarily on reducing risk. It is these different and sometimes conflicting goals that DevSecOps ultimately seeks to address.
2. Integrate processes
The second step of the DevSecOps journey is integrating processes. Many enterprises treat application development, including release management, and application security as two separate processes. This can lead to inefficiency and inconsistency while hindering communication and collaboration within and between teams. A single, integrated, end-to-end process helps teams to work together better, and can also help identify areas where automation can be applied to streamline and accelerate the process.
3. Increase Automation
With the culture change being addressed and an integrated process defined, the third step is to identify the parts of the process that can be automated to drive quality, consistency and speed. Extreme automation should be the goal, focusing not just on the process activities but also on the handoffs and interactions between different steps in the process. Documenting the DevSecOps pipeline will serve as your roadmap to help guide the automation engineering effort.
4. Enhanced Visibility
The last step of the DevSecOps journey is about enhancing information visibility for business advantage. One of the many benefits of DevSecOps is the ability to harness the information collected through every stage of the software life cycle, across multiple projects, to gauge the health and effectiveness of the process in real time. Capturing application security testing information — and making it available through a centralized dashboard — can be an invaluable tool for development and security managers to monitor risks and identify trends.
