5 A Powerful Platform for High Productivity Large enterprises face a tough challenge: Their business demands faster innovation driven by agile apps, while their IT groups must navigate these complex projects in the face of a mounting technical debt of existing systems and applications.

6 Shifting From Maintenance to Innovation IT groups are often caught between maintaining legacy systems and quickly deploying new applications to support new and diverse priorities without increasing their technology debt. The first step in overcoming the burden of legacy systems is to change how you think about your systems and applications. Enter the Gartner Pace Layered strategy: Many large enterprises increasingly look to Gartner s Pace Layering concept to manage their information systems and applications. Gartner organizes application development into three categories, or Pace Layers: Systems of Record, Systems of Differentiation, and Systems of Innovation. By applying different governance models to each of the three Pace Layers, companies can innovate faster with Systems of Innovation while not sacrificing the comprehensive governance and control that is required for the bedrock Systems of Record on which the business depends. 6 Copyright of JourneyApps 2018 All Rights Reserved

7 Systems of Innovation New Ideas Competitive Threats Systems of Differentiation Better Ideas Unique Processes Systems of Record Common Ideas Greater Efficiency Thinking In Pace Layers In the Systems of Innovation Pace Layer, this is enabled by favoring experimentation over strict change control, highly agile practices over traditional waterfall development, and sustaining a much faster pace of change. Working in Pace Layers is a first step in improving planning and alignment in your IT strategy, but is your IT environment equipped to handle the demands of Systems of Innovation and Systems of Differentiation?
