Broadcom Unveils Industry-Leading Planning, Development and Operational Intelligence Solutions Powered by Automation.ai

SAN JOSE, Calif., June 16, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ: AVGO) today announced solutions designed to accelerate decision making across multiple business and technology domains that support digital transformation initiatives. Collectively these ground-breaking solutions enable a new decision making framework called BizOps that aligns technology outputs to business outcomes— an industry first.

In a recent survey of 200-plus IT and business leaders, 89 percent of respondents said BizOps could significantly improve decision making at their organizations by improving collaboration between IT and business teams according to a Broadcom sponsored report by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services¹. The survey also uncovered that IT teams tend to use metrics that do not translate to business outcomes, and they are not collaborating closely enough with business units in their organizations, leading to mounting frustration, significant costs, and lost opportunities.

“Facing today’s rapidly changing digital transformation requirements, our customers need to improve the speed, accuracy and efficiency with which they generate feedback from real world operating models,” said Serge Lucio, vice president and general manager, Enterprise Software Division, Broadcom. “New intelligence capabilities in Automation.ai are revolutionizing the way customers correlate vast amounts of data and generate actionable insights to speed informed decision making by providing the continuous feedback loop needed for digital business success in 2021 and beyond.”

“Many customers have already adopted DevOps and Agile. BizOps is an extension of these offerings including continuous measurement, continuous feedback and strategic business planning that empowers users to keep pace with lightning speed of today’s digital transformation,” said Stephen Elliot, program vice president, Management Software and DevOps, IDC Research. “When looking at their development cycle, leadership teams are trying to drive automation and integration across their processes, and they’re also looking for continuous feedback mechanisms. This will allow a site reliability engineer executive, or the DevOps team to have line of sight visibility into feedback being collected from customers, which is invaluable.”

“At Ford Motor Company, we are driving digital transformation by evolving from a project-driven workforce to a product-centric organization that delivers a new level of agility and efficiency to maximize business value, said Serene He-Pang, executive, AgileDev, Ford Motor Company. “The ValueOps (Rally and Clarity Software) solution, from Broadcom, is helping us improve our operational process and efficiency to reduce waste and create continuous value for our customers.”
