Optimize your hybrid IT environment by empowering lines of business with management of products and services with this cloud management platform and self-service portal.
Enterprises are adopting cloud-based infrastructure to gain business agility and reduce costs at a rapid rate. With a growing number of business units already consuming public cloud services directly, IT organizations are adopting hybrid cloud-based operating models but still failing to meet business expectations for speed to market and technology innovation.
To meet these demands, IT organizations must serve as cloud services brokers, centrally managing a marketplace of cloud resources and apps.
Simplify public, private and hybrid cloud management
IT organizations must serve as cloud services brokers, centrally managing a marketplace of cloud resources and apps available on a self-service basis.
DXC Agility Platform™ is enterprise software that provides a single, consolidated cloud management solution to help large enterprises simplify the complexities of public, private and hybrid cloud management.
DXC's cloud management platform automates the deployment, management and governance of cloud applications, development platforms and other enterprise cloud services across hybrid cloud environments.
Agility Platform can also be integrated into the client’s DevOps pipeline by provisioning fully configured environments for each phase (dev, test, production) of their software development life-cycle (SDLC).
