Today's organisations need to deliver enterprise-class solutions, says Marc Pratt, sales manager at SYSDBA.

By implementing an application delivery strategy, many organisations improve financially.

So says Marc Pratt, sales manager at SYSDBA, who is of the view that organisations want to create, manage and deliver key services more quickly, more flexibly and at a lower cost, as well as minimise adverse effects on their performance.

Cloud computing and virtual technologies make application delivery strategies a necessity for driving greater return in the business, Pratt says.

In short, he says, today's organisations need to deliver enterprise-class solutions.

On this note, SYSDBA and ITWeb are conducting an online Application Delivery Survey to gain valuable insight into the application delivery strategies within South African organisations.

"The objective of the survey is to gain a better understanding of the market, and if application delivery is a challenge faced by most organisations, as some businesses are driven by the customer experience."

Pratt believes businesses need to understand how their business applications will be used and perceived while being delivered over the Internet.

"Many great applications fail because they are not able to be used efficiently - they have poor performance and are unreliable," he says.

According to Pratt, many people navigate away from an organisation's Web site or published application in seconds if they get poor responses.

When asked if there are any new developments taking place in the South African application delivery sphere, Pratt urges the need for richer and more functional applications drives the requirement for better application delivery.
