How does Agility™ work with my infrastructure?

Agility™ is realized as a set of services and tools which execute in parallel with existing IT infrastructure. Unlike other approaches, Agility™ does not force "big bang" changes onto the enterprise's IT infrastructure and applications. Instead Agility™ can be introduced incrementally, as needed. Agility™:

• Does not require existing middleware investments to be written-off
• Does not require existing IT infrastructure to be restructured or changed in any way
• Does not require resources to be shared - although it is designed to manage the controlled sharing of resources, with the permission and under the explicit policy conditions of the owners

Whilst Agility™ can be deployed onto existing infrastructure without compromising it, the power of Agility™ will be realized as IT resources are incrementally assigned under its control. The benefits of resource optimization, speedier deployment of service requirements, comprehensive relationship management through service agreements and dynamic provisioning within and beyond the enterprise, are all explained in further detail.

Agility™ therefore, provides all the benefits of a flexible IT infrastructure without the pain of rip and replace.
