Patterns vs. AntiPatterns: A Method to Enhance Your IT Stability

A Standardised Method That Also Works for Your Company

Reliable operations and the avoidance of major incidents – this is a company’s key requirement of its IT infrastructure. IT stability is a prerequisite for the smooth functioning of critical business processes.
At the same time, due to an increasing cost pressure, more and more is demanded of the IT. Permanent change, however, is a great risk for the IT’s stability: development may cost next to nothing, operations less and less. Approved tools and measures, like the use of Best Practices, a standardisation of the IT landscape, and solid architectural parameters no longer are enough. What is asked for today is a new, methodical approach to enhance IT stability.

Wouldn’t you like to tackle the problem at its roots? To establish an effective stability culture within your IT teams and at your suppliers’?

The patterns vs. antipatterns method is a systematic approach to continually improve IT stability which has already proven its value.

Patterns vs. AntiPatterns: Make Your IT More Reliable

Critical disturbances in the IT infrastructre cause process delays, l patterns osses in sales, and a loss of prestige. They reduce the users’ productivity and bind resources – valuable manpower that otherwise could have been used to improve IT processes.
The deployment of tools in system and service management isn’t sufficient to avoid such major incidents. What is also required is a quality culture, applicable for all parties of the IT processes. It is about practical improvement measures for the daily work; in planning, development, operations, quality management, as well as in IT purchase.
Patterns/antipatterns for IT stability contain specific instructions (“recipes”) for every field of IT; their interaction and systematics achieve a measurable enhancement of IT stability

GW, in cooperation with a large German corporation, developed the patterns vs. antipatterns systematics on the basis of Michael T. Nygaard’s works. The main focus is on the implementation and establishment of the standard processes. For this we offer assistance in the form of application- or task-related workshops. The objective is to develop effective, cost-efficient measures to introduce useful patterns where they are needed; and to eliminate particularly harmful antipatterns from your IT infrastructure.
With our experts we as well accompany the implementation of the measures in development, operations, and every other affected unit.
